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 ...
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.
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
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 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.
Hearing these beautiful voices brings thoughts of there ancestors,kidnapped,enslaved, and after countless hardships, trully overcome.God Bless them all.
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.
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 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.
.. 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
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.
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.
@@kamiyahthomas6093 not based on their dress, but the color of their skin. There are many societal stereotypes surrounding black young men, such as the belief that they're all drug dealing thugs.
These are the real Americans the MSM won't let you see, these great Americans and all those that enlist to serve our country day and night, protecting and defending USA with their strength and courage. ua-cam.com/video/pgV6VUinDEA/v-deo.html
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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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

Here's a beautiful song of hope, needed just as much today as when many of us sang in 1964 in Mississippi. That "arc of the moral universe" is indeed, VERY long!
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.

Don't you fucking relate Martin Luther Kings time to FERGUSON. This is NOTHING like that, OR CLOSE TO THAT. I find that VERY disrespectful, that you think this exaggerated thing is even CLOSE to 1960's.
Unfortunately we have become displacent, whether Mike Brown, Jim Brown, Tom Brown, It is a name that has awaken what has never stop.. Laws and policies to fit the time and place that we are currently living. For whatever reason we have become content in the way one is treated and the way we live.. Close your eyes to Mike Brown and open your eyes to the world nothings changed ( but the calendar).. We need only to first evaluate our prison systems and the structure in which it was made and currently running .. It's big business my Brother and sisters and we are the commodity...
Nahben Haben Unfortunately this isn't a laughing matter.. An for you to even think that I'm relating a totally different time to what is happening in today as it did in the 1965 and even earlier than King... There have been many struggles. Each takes on a different face as it has in prior generations .. and to be close minded to one is closed minded to Doctors Kings bigger vision and those before him... no this isn't a laughing matter.. but a human race matter...This isn't an attempt to put down your statements.. but an awakening that the struggle has never stopped.... know matter which way you chose to look at the issue...
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
Lindo, emocionante, profundo, cheio de história... Para que a gente não se canse de continuar acreditando que todos nós seremos livres um dia... E que chegue logo esse dia... E que seja um dia sem fim...
This is so beautiful, to witness all these amazing, focused, and talented young men creating such unity and harmony of voice and message. Thank you for sharing this!
This choir is wonderful. I came here after reading Dan Rather's post today. With the events this past weekend in Charlottesville and the responses of our "president", this provides me with some solace and hope that this shall pass and we will go on. We have to.
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.
“Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase.”

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.
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 ...
❤
Powerful man😢😢😢he died so young and he died when he was 39
One of the most powerful expressions of the human spirit. It takes my breath away every time I listen. Absolutely incredible. 🙏🙏
Absolutely beautiful!!!
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.
I am moved to tears, "No one is free until we are all free!"
47 years ago in Georgia I was afraid and beaten. I look at these young men and i apologize for being afraid. Jeff
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
sorry that you felt mate love u
But you are alive.. To me that is what matters. You made it when many didnt.
Jeff Parcells God bless you!
no need, ever, Jeff, to apologise. you were still there. god bless you!
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.
beautiful! Beautiful!!BEAUTIFUL!!!
Most of the racism today is against white people. We shall overcome some day.
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.
Much needed these days for those whose hearts are aching.
And again in these days (November 2024)
who else found this song through school and now feels blessed to hear their message!
Same! It’s a very calming song
Hearing these beautiful voices brings thoughts of there ancestors,kidnapped,enslaved, and after countless hardships, trully overcome.God Bless them all.
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.
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!
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! ❤❤❤❤💪🏼

This is absolutely beautiful and I love seeing our black men in this beautiful way. Their voices are truly a blessing from God.
I am Not a Crier; but a few secs into this. I felt the tears welling up! Sooooo Beautiful !!! thank you!
Definitely, me 2

Pretty silly Pam to think you would see the REAL person over a hour or so meal.
The beauty and power of this song spoke to my generation and moved us to act...it hasn't grown old, but truer today than ever...beautiful
Having a bad day? thinking there's nothing left for you? Listen to this. Please.
preach brother.
Same here
Flawless and beautiful.

Amazing. Simply Amazing. I haven't heard this song in a long time. Just hearing this version of it was a blessing to me.
This is absolutely oone of the best renditions of this song. I enjoyed it.
I've never heard anything like it. It's so beautiful, and so moving.
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.
Taylor Desloge I agree
Simply beautiful.
Wow. Just. Wow. Beautiful.
I just want to cry every time I hear this . I feel in my heart. such a joyous time it will be Praise God.

This is encouragement to anyone to continue to walk through our lives here despite the difficulties while seeking God's own heart in our lives.
Makes my skin crawl...feeling melancholy listening to this song...knowing we shall overcome when I am long gone from this earth.
Absolutely gorgeous, deeply moving and soulful. Unity is what evil fears, so we UNITE !
wow i have no words other than beautiful
what better tradition than this? what a resounding message and performance!
We shall overcome the cultural barrier, the language barrier, the race barrier, the class barrier, the country barrier, all folks around world, unite
A beautifully compelling rendering of an epic hymn in a landmark struggle for own very own humanity.
Stirred my heart. Thank you
I find alot of consolation and encouragement in this lyrics.
Today whole world need to listen and pray...#coronavirus
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.

Returning four years later. It saddens my spirit every time I listen. They were excellent.
best song ever we should overcome someday
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.
I myself do believe deep in my heart we shall overcome someday...my only fear is that at age 74, I might not live to see it.
I am from Jordan, I used to listen to this anthem in my fifth class in the longman English course, in 1987-1989 may be....
I love it...
It gives my heart hope for now and future-what beautiful harmonizing and singing from so many YOUNG men!
We are NOT afraid; we are not afraid; we are not afraid today! Beautiful.
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.
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.
