SHE ALSO WAS A MAJOR VOICE OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT: ODETTA Part III of IV In mid-September 2001, Odetta performed with the Boys Choir of Harlem on the Late Show with David Letterman, appearing on the first show after Letterman resumed broadcasting, having been off the air for several nights following the events of September 11; they performed This Little Light of Mine. The 2005 documentary film No Direction Home, directed by Martin Scorsese, highlights her musical influence on Bob Dylan, the subject of the documentary.

In December 2006, the Winnipeg Folk Festival honored Odetta with their Lifetime Achievement Award. In February 2007, the International Folk Alliance awarded Odetta as Traditional Folk Artist of the Year. On March 24, 2007, a tribute concert to Odetta was presented at the Rachel Schlesinger Theatre by the World Folk Music Association with live performance and video tributes byPete Seeger, Madeleine Peyroux, Harry Belafonte, Janis Ian, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Josh White, Jr., (Josh White) Peter, Paul and Mary, Oscar Brand, Tom Rush, Jesse Winchester, Eric Andersen, Wavy Gravy, David Amram, Roger McGuinn, Robert Sims, Carolyn Hester, Donal Leace, Marie Knight, Side by Side, and Laura McGhee (from Scotland).[14] In 2007, Odettas album Gonna Let It Shine was nominated for a Grammy, and she completed a major Fall Concert Tour in the Songs of Spirit show, which included artists from all over the world.
