I am a white man. U.S. Army Veteran. I listen to this song often. Brings hard emotions for me as I have alot of black brothers and sisters I served with, ith nothing but my highest respect. Seeing the divide hurts deep. I want this all to be over but I also know change isn't easy. Whatever happens, whatever the action or outcome I will be standing by you all. Everyone deserves the same freedom I have. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Thank you for standing up so my children can see from your examples.
I got chills just listening to these talented youth singing Glory. We all must work together to ensure that every American has equal and sustainable rights. We must end any pre-conceived notions about each other without knowing who people really are. The passion in this rendition of Glory is astonishing. Kudos to the Detroit Youth Choir. Keep singing!
I am always hearing the sound of music: Motown, gospel, country, blues, and jazz. Even during the "Conversation on Race" I was hearing music. Our lives have soundtracks. During the protest of the '60s and '70s, we sang, "We Shall Overcome" and "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud." There are two songs that stand out for me as the music of the current movement. The freedom songs (for me) of 2020 are: "Stand Up" from the 2019 movie "Harriet" and "Glory from the 2014 movie "Selma". The video above of the AGT Golden Buzzer winning Detroit Youth Choir singing for racial justice in a new version of Oscar-winning song 'Glory' is my FAVORITE.
❤Keep shining the light earth angels.Each if you are blessings in this world and I am so thankful to have connected here with you all,AND your message here is powerfully shared,and is helpful and healing LIGHT We sure need this light to keep shining.I love you all so much ❤Blessings!
I love this song. I watch every version of it I can find. Hadn't seen this one before. Love it. I'm not black, so I can't speak to that experience, but I am a survivor of abuse, and for me, this song really speaks to abuse survivors, as well. I would so love if someone did a version written for abuse survivors. I think it would surprise people how many similarities there are in how we are treated by our justice system, for example. Anyway love the message in this song, love the amazing voices, love this performance, love the talent of the original writers and performers, love the courage of the original civil rights leaders, who have always been heroes of mine even though I was either not born yet or too young to be aware of what was happening when they were alive. This is just an inspiring and brilliant song, and I hope people keep singing it forever. Until the glory comes.
I was BLESSED to be your School Teacher during your #AGT Run to The Finals after the Golden Buzzer ✨ days! I am unable to put into words how proud I am of what you have accomplished & how that pride bubbles n spills over in my heart as I hear you sing GLORY! Using your Platform to Lead is The Way! 🙏🏽 And as Miss Briana Hammond declares as the last chimes of GLORY ring, WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER SO WE CAN BE ONE 💜 All My Best to You, Shelley K Booker #DYC PS Well Done You Mr.White!!
@@Moridorable Studies have shown it's been the far-right doing that. Not the protestors at all but far-right infiltrators. Actual studies have shown this. So educate yourself.
This is beautiful, moving and inspiring. Bravo!!!! I live over in Basel, Switzerland now, but I was born in Detroit. May all of the beautiful, talented and courageous young people in this video continue to shine so brightly. You are already making a difference. I have goosebumps and you had me in tears. Systemic racism must finally come to an end. #Glory #WeAreOne #BlackLivesMatter #DYC #ExitRacism
@@Moridorable As I said to you above, studies have shown it's been the far-right doing that. Not the protestors at all but far-right infiltrators. Actual studies have shown this. So quieten down.
@@Moridorable I've given you two pieces of evidence above. I'm aware of how you're going to try to discredit it. And all I'll say upfront is that I expect you to discount the evidence. Sadly, I can see you've been discounting the evidence right in front of your eyes for a long time now. I'm sorry you're hurting so badly but taking it out on others won't make you feel better. It will only make you feel worse and worse about yourself. You're stuck in a vicious cycle and oh, I hope that one day you will find your way out of it.
@@Moridorable Sorry, the links are in a comment below this comment. But as we both know, UA-cam let you know that I had posted them to you so you don't need to pretend you didn't see them. I repeat: I am very sorry for the pain you are in that is causing you to lash out with such rage at other people. I hope one day you can heal from it.
I am SO happy to have stumbled upon this video while surfing around on UA-cam! Common and John Legend must be SO proud of what you all put into making this fantastic video performance! That's the whole thing though - we have to quit looking at color. We're born whatever color we're born. We don't get to pick and choose that anymore than we get to pick what country we end up being from. I guess these things are just preordained - we have no control over them, so why the heck do we focus so much on them? Let's focus on what we CAN control and just get over the stupid crap already! One Planet, One People! It doesn't matter what color - we're all PEOPLE!! I really commend the entire choir for this performance, and thank you so much for sharing it with us all! Peace!!!
This is quite beautiful. It left me so very proud and hopeful. It also left me so very sad, that after living through the Civil Right movement of the 60's, our children must still shoulder the same burden.
If you want to support these kids, you can buy this song from iTunes or make a donation through their website DetroitYouthChoir.org. They are raising money to get their own space. I'm not affiliated with the choir in any way, just want to support them.
Glory! I love this. And we will win, because God said so. Those who are not liking what we go through God will judge for not doing what you are able. Ephesians 6:8 One day when the Glory comes it'll be ours.
Commenting on the negative only magnifies it but I say God be GLORIFIED...we know ALL POWER belongs to God...GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!!! Peace on earth and goodwill towards all mankind!!!
Never can figure those out. Happens all the time. A lot of nutcases are out there, and duh, a shit-ton of ignorant racist fools among them (so maybe not so hard to understand after all).
I once saw a comedian say that the people who do that do it because it is their job. Literally, to think of annoying things to post and to see how many videos they can dislike on a shift. Yeah, personally, I can't figure it out.
I know John Legend and Common proud of the way you guys remix the song to fit the needs of what’s happening today! Good Well Done Mr. White and the DYC

Now that you guys are back on AGT, PLEASE perform this song live!!!! The world NEEDS to hear this message from young people. The power y'all have to inspire and move people is incredible,. You have the ability and platform to motivate and encourage change, justice, acceptance, peace, unity, and most importantly, love.
Beautiful Guys! Well done. Thanks for working together to make Beautiful, Powerful and World-Shaking-Desperately-Needed-Wisdom-Giving-Peace-Serving-People-Uniting Messages through song to the world! One heart-and-mind at a time..
I was blown away by the vocal range of these young people.We must as family and friends support these young people. They will be the catalyst for true change within my hometown of Detroit. My great-niece Madison sung her heart out in the 2019 concert.
God bless you all. We need change. We need to fight arm and arm no matter what your ethnicity is we need to stand together and end all this. Stronger together be United an stand tall
I just y0u guys at the Harris/Walz campaign rally. You guys were so AWESOME!!! I could not stop crying tears of joy. Plz, plz keep up the good work. Your director did a fantastic job
Love this and will keep trying to change those minds that don't see the need to change one at a time. Please keep inspiring us to keep making change happen

I was born and raised in Detroit and I was never so proud of our young people. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Oh my God, so powerful!!!
As my generation said, in a very different genre but a universal message, "if the kids are united, then we'll never be divided."
Hmm funny. They aren't united, they are divided into color groups.
Bravo to all of you! Your power, your strength, your Glory comes shining through! Your generation rocks! BLACK LIVES MATTER! You matter!
Absolutely fantastic! Detroit has always been and always will be a place of great musical talent. So powerful and enlightening 🌏🙏🎼

Absolutely beautiful!! They are amazing and talented. They're a blessing. Came here after watching the Equalizer.
This is an awesome sharing , I cheered and sang too. Embracing the world with love, freedom equality for ALL!
From south africa to Detroit, I say Amandla!! Welldone
Who in there right mind would dislike this, come on people!
Never can figure those out. Happens all the time. A lot of nutcases are out there, and duh, a shit-ton of ignorant racist fools among them (so maybe not so hard to understand after all).
I just always figure it’s trolling kids with nothing better to do.
Miserable people want to make other people miserable.

Haters Gonna Hate, but we'll show them with GLORY 💜
Thanks to The Equalizer 🤗.
Now this is my everyday anthem ❤❤
The same movie inspired me to search if the song exists. Now the song is on repeat
Absolutely stunning!! Excellent job done by these amazing young adults. My goose-bumps have goose-bumps!! ❤️❤️
I like that song
I know John Legend and Common proud of the way you guys remix the song to fit the needs of what’s happening today! Good Well Done Mr. White and the DYC
Incredibly powerful. Tears.
On Disney+ on the show called choir when you guys sang this song. I loved it without the harmonies when you guys went to Carnegie.
This is amazing and powerful. I love this message
You've moved me to tears. Things have to change. We have to change them, together. Each one of us.
Me living in the metro Detroit area I really think this song is really cool
Tears yall, TEARS.
What a powerful message.
You are all so amazing and have absolutely beautiful voices.
Keep doing what you are all doing.
