Singing the Revolution

We sang it during the civil rights movement, on marches, on buses, and in the face of violence.  We sang it for workers rights, and to protest the war in Vietnam, on the mall in Washington.  Sometimes, we sang it hand in hand, our arms criss-crossed across our bodies, swaying.  More than any other, “We Shall Overcome” has become the to-go song to summon courage and hope, and a spark to ignite or sustain a revolution.  In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, singing the revolution.
