  • ...dont understand why you included Michael jordan....he does not take a stand for anything ....his selfishness shows everyday.....JIM BROWN, BILL RUSSELL...WHERE ARE THEY...THEY STOOD UP FOR CIVIL RIGHTS TOGETHER IN THIS COUNTRY....THE 1964 BOSTON CELTICS(1ST ALL-BLACK STARTING LINEUP IN NBA....

  • “Lock up your libraries if you like, but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”

  • The times have changed within some places, yet the same affliction by oppression and segregation is as alive today as they were many years past ... Israel and its Zionist execution party, is still doing the white thing upon the rights for a unified human equality upon one place .... Earth.

  • You as an afro american.. why do you love america when they enslaved you.. whiped out your history and culture and raped your women. you were not invited to america you were forced to america. you did not land on plymouth rock, plymouth rock landed on you

  • @tharealezt First of all my man we are African American Not Afro. AFRO is a hairstyle. 2nd this song is a dediaction to African American struggles and accomplishments. It's in no way paying homage to America. Thanks for watching

  • allen west <3. keep condi on. first black woman sec of state. thats huge. no politics about it!

  • November 2,2010 Change has come. Bring Back Condi Rice. Hilary sucks

  • Wow, ten seconds in I was crying out of nowhere, (and I don't cry over nothing).

    What a long way the world has come...

    Great song, and good video :)

  • 1:00 . makes mee so mad

  • god bless africans everwere

  • we are truly God's people

  • Wow this is really good!

  • Change will come, when blacks start to clean up their act, blacks make up 50+ percent of the population in American Prison systems, even though they only make up 12 percent of the total American population. Blacks, completely and utterly destroyed once booming American cities with gangs, and other nonsense, ie. Detroit, Areas in Los Angeles, etc etc. Grow up, and save your generation. And don't give me that "whites are just as bad" excuse, look at the numbers. It's disgusting.

  • You need to check your history. Whites Gangs were in America long before any Black gangs. Many of your so called black gangs initially started in order to protect themselves and their communities from oppressive and abusive local governments. Check your history! Yes there are a large number of blacks in prison but look at the sentencing of blacks as compared to whites for the same crimes. Cities weren't destroyed by gangs, they were destroyed by the greed and ignorace of corporate America!

  • a change hasn't come obama isn't the first black president he's bi-racial

  • Excellent, well done!

  • Look how us black folk came up from being week 2 coming up STRONG i luv my race 8D

  • Jesse Jackson? U put Jesse Jackson in this? I stopped right there cuz i just know there is gonna be Sharpton, right? Those two have kept a constant fire under the seperation of blacks and whites. Those two have caused more harm to the black community than anything recently. Even the black community does not want to have anything to do with these and some others. Obama

  • May peace one day overlay the earth, and heal the world.

  • This is awesome, great job...bro & sis, please remember we are human, I am not an advocate for wrong doing, but I am an advocate for forgivingness----We can't be too quick to put our bro & sis down, just when they need us the most. Peace and Love to Everyone....God Bless you for the posting. Thank you!!!

  • Peace! you did a good job because the Great Sam cooke wasn't a saint either but the song is a classic just like the performance of the people in your video!

  • GOD bless SAM COOKE!

  • take tiger woods and condeliza rice off that

  • Take Tiger Woods off, but not Ali, or Jordan or Mr. 20,000 Wilt Chamberlain? At least Wilt wasn't married. But Jordan and Ali had their flings while married.

  • @HipHop226 i totally agree!

  • @HipHop226 Go to Hell you house slave in denial. For all Bush jr's screw ups, i.e Katrina, trillion dollar defict over eight years- that Obama added two trillion to in two years- AIG and BS bailouts- that Michael Moore suddenly liked when Obama did that same crap he curse Bush for in his stupid turd flick-,etc He was more of an influential leader in Africa than Nelson Mandela was. His cabrinet was way more diverse than Obama's

  • @HipHop226 Bring back Mrs. Rice- Hilary sucks. You are right on TG through. Are you upset your phony Union paid "grassroots" 10/2 rally went bust. God Bless Scott Walker and the Tea Party. Rot in Hell Wisconsin Teacher's union- have you seen the state's low test scores. November 2,2010- Change has come. Btw, what do you call Blacks that view Black Independent/Republicans as "Oreos"? The real Sell outs, they're just in denial of it

  • @HipHop226 HERMANN CAIN, STAR PARKER, CLEARENCE THOMAS, HARRY ALFORD, CAROL SWAIN, FRANCES RICE, CONDI RICE, MICHEAL STEELE, KEN GLADNEY, TARA WALL, ALAN KEYES, KEN BLACKWELL, JC WATTS, ETC. Just some of who your liberals slavbe master told you to oppose. Btw,a more accurate response would be "Take that Jesse Jackson and Tiger wooods" Sorry but Condi never fooled around.

    November 2,2010- Change has come Viva Tea Party revolution. Shame on you for betraying Mrs. Rice,etc. You stupid sell-out

  • @HipHop226 How come you were okay with Jesse Jackson on here? He wanted to chop off Obama's nutsake. Oh I know you blindly serve your liberal slave master and he told you not to say anything about that. Instead he said for you to curse Condi Rice, a much better role than Jackson or Sharpton- hey Al find something better to do with your time than to try to silence Rush Limbaugh. Rush is the man.

    PALIN/PARKER2012.

  • @HipHop226 no reason to take Tiger Woods off the video. He wasn't paid to be a family man...he was paid to play golf. Yeah, he's a dawg...but that doesn't diminish him as an athlete. His private life should be his business. MLK, reportedly cheated, Jordan too. Harold Washington was gay. None of it has ANYTHING to do with US.

  • @DaCoach68 I don't know what you're talking about b. I don't care about his life and never said anything about him being a family man.

  • @HipHop226 Sorry, man...I thought you were the one saying "Take Tiger" off this video" I think he got a bad rap, yo. Yeah, he busted up his family and was a totally f'ing dawg...but that got nothing to do with me. Parents freak out "he's supposed to be a role model"...NO HE AIN'T. He's an athlete. PARENTS are supposed to be role models. *sorry, again---I just saw it as a way for 'others' to tarnish the fact that the world's greatest golfer was not an old white man. ;)

  • @DaCoach68 You're right. Lebron scored and got hyped and some golfer said something like. I dont like Lebron,I like M.J. because he wouldnt do that. I'm thinking of course he wont because he isn't Lebron James he's Michael Jordan

  • Thank you for sharing something positive about our shared experiences in this place. There is still much work which needs to be done, we still have many issues, but, we ought to concentrate on the good things that we can do and the common things that benefit all people. Take more pride in our own heritage and culture --but, be willing to learn and or tolerate things that we might not readily understand! The people that I knew that personally knew Sam Cooke are deceased but I still have memories.

  • BUt at the same time we MUST NEVER forget least it happen again

  • this has been one of my all=time favorite songs by a great singer for years. you video really does justice to the song, the singer and the inspiring change. thanks. but i'm still keeping my eyes on the real prize: to love and be loved by our God.

  • Very good vid. I enjoyed very much and yes a change has come, yes it has!

  • KCarter, great job! No one should ever forget the past. Life, regardless of color, is to valuable. What were (unfortunately are) people thinking as these thing go on?

    I didn't...nor will I in the next election, vote for BO. It has nothing about his skin color...everything to do with his politics. However, he is my president too, and he's entitled to move history (by rule of law) the way he sees fit.

  • @stephen614 Palin/Parker 2012, Cain/Huckabee 2012. Just some brainstorming to remove Obama and the Invisible man in the next election. November 2,2010- Change has come Viva Tea Party. Never forget Ken Gladney. Rot in Hell the sell outs at NAACP, SSEIU, and those that hate Condi Rice here. Oh a Big FU to has-been sell-out Harry Commiefonte. To quote Laura Ingraham "Shut up and sing" No wait just shut up Harry, your 10/2 speech would be insomias to sleep

  • real nice video mate

  • One of the best works on youtube.Well done.

  • This song brings me to tears, love it. BRING IT ON, I dont know many people but i know what is right and how my kids should be treated....... They are amazing, they are as good as any one, they deserve a chance and no one and nothing should stand in their way!!!!

  • an amazing song by an amazing singer, but get rid of that condoleeza rice pic, spoils it!

  • This song is so beautiful. Good work on the pics.

  • makes me think of a picture my great grandmother showed me wen i was little of her hugging a white woman in 1954..she told me the white woman in the picture said she was ashamed of how her race treated blacks and wanted to help in any way

  • Hearing this song again since not hearing it in over twenty yrs brought some reality back to me-& me closer to reality. AdamLambert, PattiLaBelle, Seal, BillyPreston & all the fabulous covers are so heart rending. Then I hear Mr Cooke again, & again I know the depth of soul, blues & true performance talent.

  • nice! I posted it to Facebook =)

  • that was beautiful kcarter!

  • Obama and all the things that means he is president make the world respect the USA again, I don't understand all the hate, you americans need to grow up...

  • Beautiful, and powerful.

  • Hey, did you know there's this little thing called cause and effect? Guess what?! Black people were enslaved for 300 years and then oppressed from that point on! I know what you're going to say, "That was 300 years ago! Get over it!" It's not that simple. Being enslaved for 300 yrs and then victimized for a hundred years after that would have a negative affect on ANY race/culture. I realize that arguing with the likes of you will get me nowhere. You've already made up your mind. So, I'm done.

  • exactly preach on mayn preach on

  • wow, really dude. you think the crimes of blacks outwiegh the injustices that the whites have done thru out history? you really are dumb

  • there is a point in what you're saying... but you can't really compare that to the 300 years of slavery...

    after the end of slavery the whites again began to put the blacks into little ghettos and isolated them... that's how these ghettos arose...But I respect your opinion

  • I am black . Yes I understand where you are comming from. I love me so white people. But if someone cant get a job they will be in poverty. Whites are in poverty too. Whites are killing too. What's the diffrence. We have come a long way. All of us. We still have time to deal with the stuff we do. Its gone be alright. CHANGE WILL COME. One day it will.

  • Well, I may disagree with you, phigh011, but I respect your courtesy.

  • kcarterchicago...consider adding a pic of Shirley Chisholm, who ran for President of the United States in 1972 on the platform " Change" thirty six years before Barack Obama.

  • You make a really good point.

  • Comment removed

  • Powerful images for a powerful song.

  • u did a good job with that one

  • I'd suggest rediting the video to remove Barack Obama and Condileeza Rice and Colin Powell.

    With the way things are currently going with Obama, don't expect any kind of change. At least, not the kind of change you're expecting

  • how is Obama to blame?

  • @bebejful Screw that Keep Condi Rice. Colin was a RINO, but he shoudl still remain nonetheless. As for Obama. God willing Hermann Cain will do that in 2012.,lol. Change has happene. The date was November 2,2010. If ya want to remove anyone, besides TG, it should be Jesse Jackson, how about when racist thugs attacked Ken Gladney. That would be worth showing

  • in the some of the darkest moments in our history we shined the brightest. we've accomplished so much, for so much to against us.

    way to finish it off with President Obama

  • What a powerful and moving video, I hope that all parents sit their children down and not only show them this video but explain why the things that are depicted in this video are so important to African American culture and heritage. Rember Black History doesn't only occur in Feburary.

  • The song is powerful, and the images are powerful. I'm glad YouTube decided to allow the audio to be heard again. A little over 10 months ago, they shut this video down because of the song.

  • Great song and montage!!! May we all try our best to make this world a better place for very everyone to live.

  • Great montage! I hope you got an a on it!

  • I appreciate You Tube for putting the audio back in the video. They took out the audio portion from the video about 10 months ago. I guess they realized that the video has some merit.

  • wow :(

  • people fight for change for us and we brother's and sister's are killing oue self why o my once say he have a dream but a name come only name obama and say yes we can

  • Thats sad

  • One of them is missing in all the Black personalities in that video...

    It goes by the name of HAMILTON; I know he ain't American, but still...

    Great video anyway.

    Thanks for postin' it.

  • One of the best youtube videos ever. PRESIDENT OBAMA ROCKS!

  • Beautiful!!!

  • what a great video. this song is sung by sam cooke. its from an old negro spiritual.

    it stirs powerful emotions in the hearts of americans.

  • Great song!

  • i'll just say OBAMA 2008. an African American 's been elected president of the usa. Anything is possible... barack hussein obama, the 44 th president of the usa...wow seriously wow ....

  • obama is the change sam cook was talking!!

  • When Obama is officially sworn in and the crowd is rejoicing the dawn of a new era in American History, I believe this is the appropirate song that should follow! This song gives me goose bumps

  • God bless everyone who fought and fights against injustice!

  • yes we did!

  • Way to go my friend!

  • thanks

  • You're very welcome.

  • beatuiful.. displayed so well. its amazing how far we come :')

  • i remember when Jesse jackson san for president and the news woman say that AMERICA "just isn't ready for a black president" and that's when i knew i would live in the united states for much longer...now 2008 is here and we american's will hopefully see the first black president get sworen in on Jan' 20, 2009.....i still would never want to live back in america..there are so many other places in this small little world that are better to live.

  • Such a wonderful video thank you for posting it! I wish some of the people in this video could be alive today to see all they have helped to accomplish.

  • An extremely powerful video.  Thank you. Tx

  • We have come so far... Great Video

  • It's great to see America coming online with the rest of the world though I don't think Ms Rice is a good example of the best America has to offer

  • a brilliant, poignant depiction of let freedom ring!

  • excellent !!!!!! emmett till should be in there too xxxxx

  • I might have to come up with another one

  • dont

  • @kcarterchicago could ya put one that showed racist thugs that stomped on a Black man, Ken Gladney, in St.louis. All for selling t-shirts. WTH.

  • This is one the best videos ever. I'm making sure my family and friends see this. Excellent work

  • amazing...i'm holding back the tears. we've come a long way...

  • me too very powerful stuff

  • This piece of African-American History is really nice. I enjoyed it! God Bless America land that I love!

  • God bless hope

  • I don't cry easily, but this song has never failed to get me going. Combined with those powerful images, and the tears are streaming down my face. I never thought I would see what I'm seeing in my lifetime and I was born the year Martin Luther King jr was assassinated. As Nina Simone sang: it's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life and I'm feeling good.

  • A Change Has Came Thank YOu Lord My Praying Paid Off!!!1

  • Planet Earth breathes a sigh of relief. I now have hope for America and the World. God Bless the United States of America and Barack Obama.

    From Colin in London, England

  • Change is here!! Now!!

  • thanks..this was beautiful, brought tears to my eyes...My President is Obama!..a change has come

  • God bless America.

  • my president is black!!!!!!!!!

  • whats up my brother

  • My President is Black "AND" White. A nice mix. My ancestors were not only black slaves, but white indentured servants, stolen off the streets and forced into labor, beaten and deprived of being human as well. Let us not forget, this is about changing for a better future for all. And that it will take, all races together around the world, to make that change. Obama got my vote, but he can't do it alone. A few days to kick back and bask in the glory of it all, but we can't sit back at all. Bush?

  • my president is balck

  • thank u....this brought tears to my eyes.....

  • OBAMA WINS!!!!

  • this is marvelous! thank you for posting

  • Love him Marvin Gaye............<'3....!!

  • OMG - this is excellent. At first, I had tears of sadness which then turned to tears of joy. Your work speaks wonders. I've never commented on a YouTube before but you have truly inspired me.

  • Brilliant.  Love you.

  • Outstanding video, Kcarterchicago. Thank you so much!

  • This is a very moving slideshow...I posted a video response for you & your viewers. Please let me know what you think and pass it on!

  • Whatever, lets just wait until Nov 4th...we will see then. Yeah that's right I'm voting for Obama. For those that's not voting...that's on you!!!

  • My ancestors fought back while blacks were enslaved!! We always fought back! we payed the ultimate price, we died for our freedom!! "id rather die on my feet then live on my knees"- emiliano zapata, huey newton hi jacked that quote, as a matter of fact blacks hi jacked the whole civil rights theme!! Weve been fighting for over 500 years, we started this shit

  • Im not white! Im a native mexican! Im indigenous to this continent! My people went through the worst crime in the history of humanity, I will never vote for an illegal, ie mccain and obama!! Get your facts straight!! Long live aztecas aka mexica (thats where the word mexican comes from) long live the maya, the apache, the seminoles.. Viva sitting bull, geronimo and emiliano zapata!! And all our other leaders

  • Yeah, America's gonna change forever if Obama's elected, because half of our rights are gonna be taken away. Wait and see. Obama has been lying people just wait and see!

  • yo get the fuck outta here! go post ur bullshit on a Mccain page. u nimkapoop.

  • cry me a river!! LOL go out and vote for obama!! You puppet, hahahaha white guilt will get obama elected!!!

  • .. and redneck american ignorance will get mccain elected just like bush right?

  • That electection was rigged. The masses never wanted that idiot Bush in office! Seeing Palin's idiocy, was enough to frighten anyone. That in itself, was enough cause, for the majority to vote for Obama. I would like to believe..."Change Is In The Air." Let's be a part of it.

  • This reminds me of when I was 16 years old. I visited the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm white and I was born and raised in Alabama. Walking through Ingram Park and seeing the 16th Street Baptist Church, the Klansman's robe, the firebombed Freedom Rider's bus, and hearing Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech reiterated the belief in my heart that I'm incapable of hating another person because of his or her race.

  • You're awesome and obviously intellegent. -Brandon, Dallas, TX "Crimson Tide baby".

  • Nice...a change is gonna come!!!

  • great job!

  • "I was born free, and as long as im alive I want to live well" - Geronimo the great apache chief

  • blacks never declared war on europeans!! Mexicans did (the mexica), the apache did!! Hahahahah the seminoles did!! you ever hear of the the 7 year war!! hahaha Actually africans fought with europeans, can you picture that??? LOL cowards!!!!!!!!!!

  • The indigenous holocaust!! The worst crime in the history of humanity!! I know the truth, and I will spread the truth until I die!!! the mexica (aztecs) and the apache never surrendered!!! Were warriors!!!!

  • This Is Deep.

  • THIS SONG MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME.

  • LOL, blacks rarely fought back! they lived on their knees!! my people were warriors, we always fought back!

  • Again cry me a river!! I am sick of your insults about blacks and others being illegals so I am ending my conversation with you with "If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it." Anthony J. D'Angelo

  • Hey thanks for your Vote HA!!!!

  • remember this, indigenous people started civil rights, your people hi-jacked it and claim it as your own!! My people were here for thousands of years, dont you ever try to downplay my people!!! I am mexica (commonly known as aztec) my native language is nahuatl!! I am not a foreigner to this continent, nor are any of my people!!

  • okay I always hear people say that their people invented that or this, well I say what have you done lately? Cry me a river!! If you give up you lose. The black slaves fought the result we are still here, the Jews fought as a result still alive a kicking. See a trend? nuff said!!

  • emiliano zapata first came up with the quote, "id rather live on my feet then die on my knees" ... africans used to look up to indigenous people because we always fought back against europeans, even while blacks were in captivity, we were fighting and dying!!

  • with all due respect your people werent called savages, they were called Ni**ers!! Euroepans started calling your people that during the slave trade, because they often captured blacks in nigeria!! (northern africa) indigenous people have been fighting for there civil rights for 500 years, lol we started this shit!! We didnt march, we went to war! Emiliano zapata didnt march, geronimo (the great apache chief) held off the us army for 10 years, with only 40 apache!!!

  • well you know what i dont like, I dont like the high school history cirriculums!! They totally dis-regaurd the crimes against my native brothers and sisters, they just talk about slavery! And another thing I dont like is when the media tries to portray an image that blacks represent all minorities! Total bullshit!! Obama doesnt represent me, hes just another illegal!! Hes half european and half african!!!

  • yes kcarter, I agree with everything you said!! Africans and jews have been through some shit, but the indigenous people of north and south america have been through genoicide, rape! We are told our people were savages, we are told that we didnt have any accomplishments, its all lies!!! And the racism is all around, like a curse on my people!!! And to be honest, africans didnt have it as bad because they are still around today

  • I am not preaching but as a people you must fight for what you want or die1 Africans did not have it bad? for shame for you to say such a thing our people fought hard to get what we want my grandmother watched as my grandfather was beaten right in front of her? Shame that you totally disregard others, Quit the blame game my man, and yes blacks were called savages and were raped and yes boil alive! Jews were gased and experminted on For shame!! pokergenius0000

  • That being said, I don't know how a people can recover when 95% of them were wipe out. You can't put words to something like that.

  • Because in the end, when we stand in judgement, your maker won't be looking at skin color, or ethnicity, or country of origin. That shit won't matter. What will matter is whats in your heart.

  • I really don't feel the need to compare injustices to groups of people AGAINST each other. I agree that that 95% of Native Americans were wiped out. Thats FUCKED UP!! Millions of Africans perished during the middle passage. Thats FUCKED UP!! Millions of Jews were murdered by the Nazis. Thats FUCKED UP!! But to equate these and other injustices to something as trivial as "my father can beat up your father" is just silly. We all have to realize that we are all in this together.

  • I dont have anything against obama, but I really dont give a shit if he gets elected!! I dont vote for illegals!! ie mccain and obama!!!!

  • Im just telling you the truth bro!! North america is my homeland, my people have been here for 40 thousand years!! Im a native mexican, my people are the apache, the comanche, the arrowak, the seminoles, the mayan, the mexica (aztec), the navajo etc... were all one people, europeans have distorted us!!! divided us!!!!!

  • Everyone needs to stop fighting. Who was really "anywhere" first? What about the giant races. What did we do to them? They were wiped out by us little people! Nuff said. The planet and all life on it, is suffering...which is caused mostly by a select few. Put the blame where it belongs. Ripping hearts out, rape, stealing another's stores for the winter and on and on and on???? Humans can be beastly, all humans! Let us be part of the change today. Not forget the past, but improve upon it!

  • 95% of our people were killed in a holocaust!! Look up "nightmare of my people" on youtube

  • Be cool! my man we all have suffered but for you to say the Mexicans have it worse than any other group you are sadly mistaken we all have suffered, but claiming "victim!!" makes for sorry excuses.

  • yeah right, the indigenous holocaust was the worst crime in the history of humantity!! The indigenous people of the americas were killed, raped and divided!! Mexicans, central americans and native americans are all one people!! you just dont know your history, weve been though hell!! Im a native mexican, we were known as the mexica ( commonly called aztec) get your facts straight!!!

  • the people that suffered the most are native mexicans and native americans!! the indigenous holocaust! look it up, worst crime in the history of humanity

  • WRONG!! It's wrong to say one group suffered more than other the Blacks, Jews and Yes the Native Americans have all had their holocaust, but lets not forgett after 9/11 the second most hated racial group was Middle Eastern, so guess who was still number#1 African Americans. nuff said

  • Way to end it with "Chicago" photos--especially the ones of Barack.

  • Thanks. Nice work, youngin'. All of us need to see, hear and learn.

  • THANK YOU
