MAHALIA JACKSON Live late 1960's We shall overcome

We shall overcome--very moving she gets totally saturated with the song, even at the end as she walks from the mic the power of her voice is still overwhelming. This song was a staple of the civil rights movement, Mahalia worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King. She also sang Precious Lord at his funeral in 1968

This song reflects the struggles of the ? -1960's. The goal was for all of us to live in harmony together. That was the Great Dream. People (black and white) died for that. This song has such significant meaning, that I would urge all that truly do not understand, to seek an understanding of that time. We have not come as far as we think we have, Obama notwithstanding. Look back. Learn your history America! Do not be smug!!!
