- Summary
- Originally a black religious song, then a union organizing song, "We shall overcome" over the years gradually became the protest anthem that set America marching towards racial equality. By tracing the sources of one song, the film uncovers the diverse strands of social history which flowed together to form the Civil Rights movement. Julian Bond, Andrew Young and others reminisce about what this song meant during the sit-ins, voter registration drives and protest marches of the sixties.
