sang this song for about 8 straight hours at MLK's funeral procession. Still brings tears to me especially when it's sung as beautifully as this. leave it to his alma mater for this fantastic post
This performance is a while back, but still remains powerful as ever. I shared this with Palestinian friends who are in dire state at the moment more than ever ...
My memory of this song will always be tied to an annual MLK Day celebration in New Hampshire. Now, understand that this event would involve pretty much every black person in the state ... who could fit into a single room, but it also had white people who supported the cause of civil rights like my folks. We were campaigning at the time to make MLK Day an official holiday in that state, because it was the only place in the entire USA that didn't have one. We would always end the celebration by singing this song. And in 1988, Jesse Jackson showed up for that event on the campaign trail, keeping hope alive. But what he actually taught 6-year-old me was about the righteous anger of people who have been wronged and have still not found justice, and how to use that to inspire courageous action that makes the world a better place. Make no mistake, we shall overcome. All of us, hand in hand.
Jeff Parcells God bless you.we've never met and probably never will.But may God bless you, nay his Grace be upon you always...may he meet you at the point of your every need
This song is actually in our churches hymnal (Unitarian Universalist) and we will sing it together sunday the 10th, after the election. Because no matter who wins we need to sing it.
Happy Martin Luther King day everyone. God bless his soul and may his activism against racism, poverty, and war continue to inspire people across the entire world❤️❤️❤️❤️Someday, we shall overcome🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was 11 years old playing the trumpet and my band teacher taught us how to play this song, I am 33 years old and till now still bring tears to my eyes, God bless you Kieth Place best band teacher ever.
I can't help but cry as I listen to this and reflect on all the racism we in this country are STILL dealing with. In my mind's eye I can still see the pictures in history books of African Americans, their backs striped with scars, others hung, others in chains. How brave it is for these individuals to believe in the future. How incredibly brave.
I am from Fiji and my island nation is currently going through the second wave of coronavirus and it has hit us pretty bad. The health workers are exhausted, the nation is losing hope and everyday is like fighting a losing battle against an unknown enemy. I happened to remember we used to sing this back in our school and I looked up the song. This gave me so much hope, for myself and my nation 💙 we definitely shall overcome!
I do believe that we shall overcome someday......every time I hear this song I shed some tears for MLK, ...he was such a great man that I have no words to describe him. I just am thankful to the universe that he existed for a time in our lives.
I know I am wrong but I love the older songs better than the new stuff especially Christian rap. To know I am singing in the same way as my ancestors did is sacred to me.💜💜💜💜💜
I'm too young to completely understand the events that took place during the decade of the sixties. I was not there during the March On Washington on August 28 1963, and yet, I feel as if time, space, and human connection collides together and puts my soul there everytime I here this song. It gives me chills.

It's just the tuxedos that make them look nice. I suggest taking them, each one, out for a meal and a chat to find out how they really are in character.
Hearing these beautiful voices brings thoughts of there ancestors,kidnapped,enslaved, and after countless hardships, trully overcome.God Bless them all.
Whenever I am feeling down I listen to this song. It gives me the strength to get through my days. Some days I feel week and horrible and then I listen to this song. This video especially. It is so beautiful and awe inspiring. It makes me feel as if I am complete. God bless this choir. God bless this talent. A group of people so generously gifted by God. I am humbled by their ability to make me feel as if I am of worth. Praise the glory of Christ.
the most stunning performance of this piece i've ever heard. the long phrases, each verse building in intensity, flawless musicianship, and of course the many layers of meaning - too beautiful.
Still only a 4% fatality rate in the United States as of today and the media would have you believe its the Black Plague!! Im seriously thinking of buying a home security shotgun because if this countrys economy stays closed after May I think you could see civil unrest. Unreal.....and ridiculous to destroy the economy of a country for even a 10% fatality rate!
.. hair standing on end - BEAUTIFUL.. each chorister is rich with legacy - in their faces, see their ancestors. In their voices, the love their ancestors have for them, comes shining through..♥. G:)d bless
I am White, and I know that as a country, we will overcome the wicked legacy of the past hand in hand and unafraid despite attempts by the likes Trump and DeSantis to reinflame outdated tensions for political gain. I look forward to the day when race is no longer a factor in judging the worth or Americanness of our fellow countrymen and brothers and sisters in Christ, many of whom have deeper roots here than most others.
Dedicating this song to the memory of King Family members ưho have gone onto Glory; just found out that the youngest son of Dr.MLK, Jr. passed yêsterday ( January 22,2024)❤ Totally Brokenhearted at this news and praying for the family!❤ May God continue to bless and strengthen this Godly and Great Family!!❤❤❤
As I listen to this song that has lasted down through the years, I am encouraged to know that someday, after this old world has past and gone and troubles are no more, I truly believe that we will overcome and be able to rest in Heavenly Glory.
Incredibly beautiful, soulful and inspirational. Thank you for sharing. As Dr. King said..."We may not all have come in on the same ship, but we're in the same boat now." Let's love & support one another - red, yellow, black or white.
I remember performing this song, as a young girl in 1989, at the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University in Moscow. I was not a very good singer, and my English far from perfect, but the audience (students from African and Asian countries) started to sing along as a choir, so it was an absolutely uplifting anf amazing experience! will never forget it, such a mighty song! Same spirit as Russian folk songs.
My wife and I have been attending the Spellman/Morehouse Christmas Concert (held 1st weekend of Dec. each year) for the last three years. We have been overwhelmed with the music offered by these two groups. I first heard the Morehouse Glee Club on NPR on a MLK celebration some 15 years ago. What an outstanding group they are. By the way, Dr. King sang in the Morehouse Glee Club.
I am thankful that my friend Benjamin shared this most inspiring link with me. Praise God for these men, and I pray that their efforts will not be muted.

Dr King, Doğum günün kutlu olsun. ''We Shall Overcome'' şarkısını, mezun olduğun okulun korosundan bir kaç kez üst üste dinledim. Şarkının derin ve olağanüstü güzelliğiyle hem büyülendim hem hüzünlendim
Dr. King, Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, and all those who risked their lives for civil rights and stood on their principles to change our nation, this song is for you!!!
(IN TRIBUTE & PAYING RESPECTS, PRAYERS, CONDOLENCES, & WELL WISHES TO THE FAMILIES, FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, & NUMEROUS ADMIRERS OF): Congressman John Lewis, the Rev. C.T. Vivian, & the Rev. Joseph Lowery. Rest well in Peaceful Paradise, gentlemen; you have more than done your numerous great civic duties & provided excellent leadership, along with dealing with many sacrifices, on this earth. Your spirits, along with pursuing your work & goals, will go on with us taking up the mantle for all three of you.
Woke up sad this morning, thinking about Charleston but I turned to this amazing version of We Shall Overcome on purpose, and now I'm ready again to seek/do my part working with others to dismantle racism and rid our nation of the ridiculous ocean of guns.
i first heard the Morehouse Glee Club in early 1969 in Ife, Nigeria when they came to honor one of their own, the late great Professor H A Oluwasanmi. They sang this same song and if you remember what 1968 was then this song has more meaning to you. The two great icons of peace, Bobby Kennedy and MLK had just been taken from us. There were tears in everyone's eyes as they sang this song.
With everything that has happened in the last few hours, days and weeks, this song is particularly stirring and deeply moving for me at the moment. #justiceformikebrown
The fact that you could find offense to that post in no way, shape or form refers to you is laughable and a little sad. Fact of the matter is that I really and truly do not give a damn if you are offended. I wasn't talking to you. Have several seats.
Let me rephrase, I think what you said was insanely idiotic and most likely lost many IQ points by simply being exposed to it, and I greatly hope nobody else has read, for the sake of their mental health.
I love humanity so much, the road must be taken, now its clear. all kinds too all. Such harmony in pure and simple even if it's jazzy. There is a way to end all wars. All kinds. All know kinds.
Wow, Bill, thanks for sharing this moving version of the anthem of the Civil Rights movement. It brings back such memories for me--of singing it so many times in a small church in Shaw & Cleveland Ms. when I was a volunteer in the S. Freedom Summer Project, and in Jackson, a large group of us being led by Pete Seeger. The MH Glee Club has turned it into such an artistic piece. It was a song of hope 52 years ago, and just as much today, though in different circumstances. We need it just as much now. Racism has been de-institutionalized in our nation, but not eradicated from the hearts of many of our fellow citizens.
As I am facing having to endure over a year of getting Allergy shots once a week& possibly having to for the rest of my life.-along with a myriad of other medical problems-coming upon your Chorus singing so amazingly in perfect union& harmony....blending together with such strong,brave voices.........Hearing your bravery shining through your voices.......is just what I needed today to remind me to never give up-to face my fears & that We CAN be Strong after all-for We SHALL Overcome Some Day
What a beautiful rendition of this song! No matter what one's God-given color and race of men this was very aesteticaly pleasing to western Americans. Great job guys.
who would post ugly comments on this video?! my goodness! people are so unhappy, so miserable. blessed be this beautiful choir and this inspired and inspiring performance. the men touched my heart.
When the world is turning upside down.. and when all the hopes, trust,faith are lost in the current political, judicial,social system.. This song is used as a motivation for many.. This song which is Gospel song composed by the Reverend Charles Albert Tindley.. BIBLE Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore , as we have oppurtunity , let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. 8. Those who sow to please their sinful nature,from that nature will reap destruction; those who sow to please the spirit,from the spirit will reap ETERNAL LIFE. I thank God for this song, which is a source of inspiration to many. This song if we understand the true meaning.. not only we will find HOPE. BUT ETERNAL LIFE..!!!
Just a beautiful rendition of this beautiful song. I grew up in Compton California from 1962 through 1973 and sang in the prestigious Compton Boy Choir for three years (4th through 6th grade). We performed this song much like this Glee Club. Brought back many fond memories of those times. Thank you so much for posting!
Powerful man😢😢😢he died so young and he died when he was 39

Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Were you at the funeral in person?
You are loved.
welcome to fact or cap where we test these theories
That’s amazing! It’s so sad that a Champion of Civil Rights was Assassinated for what he truly believed in. RIP Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Having a bad day? thinking there's nothing left for you? Listen to this. Please.
preach brother.
Same here
We shall overcome the cultural barrier, the language barrier, the race barrier, the class barrier, the country barrier, all folks around world, unite
I can't help but cry as I listen to this and reflect on all the racism we in this country are STILL dealing with.

beautiful! Beautiful!!BEAUTIFUL!!!
Most of the racism today is against white people. We shall overcome some day.

Sorry to hear that! What is the vaccine situation over there?
Sending love and strength 🙏🏻 this song is deep and beautiful , what a beautiful rendition! ❤❤❤❤💪🏼
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Celebrating Dr.King on his birthday!! His college men's choir; continue resting in power, Emperor!
I do believe that we shall overcome someday......every time I hear this song I shed some tears for MLK, ...he was such a great man that I have no words to describe him. I just am thankful to the universe that he existed for a time in our lives.
I am moved to tears, "No one is free until we are all free!"
Yes indeed we shall overcome some day when Jesus comes
This isn’t a song about waiting for a savior to liberate us. It’s a song about fighting for that liberation NOW, to bring about that day ourselves.
I know I am wrong but I love the older songs better than the new stuff especially Christian rap. To know I am singing in the same way as my ancestors did is sacred to me.💜💜💜💜💜
This is absolutely beautiful and I love seeing our black men in this beautiful way. Their voices are truly a blessing from God.

OK but when still waiting for that time well' I have news wake up" I heard this when I was 5
Yep, Ronald Williams-EL. The trouble is that black "leaders" were more concerned about the underclass when they were among that population.
We WILL overcome some day. We haven't achieved it yet, but we SHALL overcome!
If you haven't yet achieved it, you never will.
I came here for comfort and was not disappointed.
The forces of love will triumph over the forces of hate
MetaFess Me too, I'm actually sobbing... I'm hoping our future grows brighter.
Me too.
"We are not afraid!"
The future is what we make of it. We won't let that bloated hatemonger steal it from us.

10 Therefore , as we have oppurtunity , let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
8. Those who sow to please their sinful nature,from that nature will reap destruction; those who sow to please the spirit,from the spirit will reap ETERNAL LIFE.
I thank God for this song, which is a source of inspiration to many. This song if we understand the true meaning.. not only we will find HOPE. BUT ETERNAL LIFE..!!!

Beautiful soulful singing...praying for our nation during this difficult time of Covid19.
Just a beautiful rendition of this beautiful song. I grew up in Compton California from 1962 through 1973 and sang in the prestigious Compton Boy Choir for three years (4th through 6th grade).
We performed this song much like this Glee Club. Brought back many fond memories of those times.
Thank you so much for posting!

Returning four years later. It saddens my spirit every time I listen. They were excellent.
I find alot of consolation and encouragement in this lyrics.
