This is an old song that has been sung in the United States since the beginning of the 20th Century. The artist singing this version, Pete Seeger, died at the age of 94 on January 27, 2014. He was a legendary folk singer. Many of the songs he sang were used in protests that moved the United States forward. "We Shall Overcome" became an anthem for the Civil Rights Movement. It is a beautiful song that expresses hope for a better future.
