Hank's Songs Across America

Hank addressing the fourth grade assembly of a NYC elementary school, May 2008. Hank told the students how he was inspired to write his 9-11 songs in the dark days following 9-11-01. At this "songfest", the students sang Hank's songs "New York City", "One Heart, One Voice", "The Spirit of America", and "God Protect the Children" for Hank, and Hank sang "Halfway to Heaven" and "The Tree of Life" for the students.
The Select Chorus at a central New Jersey elementary school sang "6,000,000" at their Spring Concert, April 2008. Hank spoke to the audience about how he was inspired to write this song by the stories and paintings of his uncle, noted artist Frank Pack, who was among the first soldiers to liberate the Nazi concentration camps at the end of World War II. Artist Frank Pack devoted much of his later life to depicting the Holocaust in his art and paintings.
An elementary school Chorus in southern New Jersey sang "The Spirit of America" at their outdoor Concert for Memorial Day, May 2009. Hank Fellows believes that teaching 9-11 songs is a vital part of 9/11 education, and one of the best ways to teach children and students about 9/11/01.
