Wouldn't this make a better National Anthem than that war song we have now? I think so (and I'm a "white" guy.)

[jwilly123cutie]

I sang this song in front of my whole school when i was in 1st grade!!!!!

I agree with ankharris. All I could think of was that woman with her finger in the Presidents' face. No respect. JHD

I'm doing this song for my school as a solo and I will put it up on Youtube once it has happened so everyone will know this generation has learned our fathers songs and listen to every word they have said that bought us here today as free as can be. God Bless everyone

Too many of us don't know the words to this song . . . I think it's time we learned . . . sing along . . . loud and proud

I really like this song. I think it represents how the African Americans felt when segregation was around. It makes me very sad to see what colored people has been through this days/years.

@cowardsndntapply - Struggle is what made America, it has always been the poor and the disenfranchised that have done the work worth doing, and with the aristocrats riding on their backs. Read Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States".

This country IS for all the people who have had to struggle, even though the elitists have failed to recognize that that is what is meant by those first 3 words of the Constitution, "We the People".

This video had me in tears today after seeing how beautiful and powerful it is. It eloquently shows how our race has risen up from our problems as slaves to succeeding, finally having a black man in the White House.

Very moving song and video hard to believe people who claim to be followers of Christ could commit these atrocities against our African American brothers and sisters. You always hear the GOP tout the Founding Fathers. Its no wonder, just like the Founding Fathers were a bunch of white men who did not want anyone but them sharing in their "equality" the GOP has issue with playing fair.

this always makes me cry
