John Francis performs his arrangement of "We Shall Overcome" on January 15, 2012 in Wichita, Kansas using a seven string classical guitar made by Antonio Aparicio. The tune, which can be traced back to the late 18th century aria "Caro Mio Ben" by Giuseppe Giordini, has become most closely associated with the civil rights movement. Charles Albert Tindley and Pete Seeger are the key contributors to the lyrics associated with it today. John's performance was done in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday.
