John Malveaux of MusicUNTOLD.com writes:
In
April 1960, 126 young civil-rights activists joined together in
Raleigh, N.C., for the founding of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating
Committee, better known as SNCC and sang "We Shall Overcome". The
song probably dates back to antebellum days, when slaves worked in
fields making America great. Songs of slaves had roots in African songs
brought over during the brutal Middle Passage to America 401 years ago.
Please listen to a contemporary version sung by Diana Ross
