We Shall Overcome

Play and sing along to We Shall Overcome on bells!

We Shall Overcome,” which the US Library of Congress named, “The Most Powerful Song of the Twentieth Century”  was the unofficial anthem of the African American Civil Rights Movement. It was also the subject of an intense copyright dispute. In January 2018, author Isaias Gamboa and the We Shall Overcome Foundation won a class-action lawsuit releasing it to public domain. “Its spiritual strength has now been unshackled so that its full power may be used to strengthen those fearless warriors who fight for justice, equality and freedom against the forces of evil.” (Source)
