    Thank you for making this video! I am an elementary music teacher and I used this to teach my 4th and 5th graders about the musical and cultural history of this song. We are singing it as our "Song of the Month" this month and I appreciated having an in-depth explanation and conversation from a culture bearer. Thank you again!

    Damn. I cried so much watching this. The fact this doesn’t have more views is near criminal. So many amazing people who deserve to be seen and heard, now more than ever. And you deserve so much love and growth for making such a masterful video. Found out about this song in gathering for the recent reinstatements in Tennessee. Looked up Joan Baez’s version and couldn’t keep myself from breaking down its so beautiful. Thank you for doing history’s serves.

    Absolutely amazing work here!!!! Zilphia Horton has a huge part in both bringing the elements of lyrics and melody together and then carrying it to the people who made history with it. I know she is often left out of this history when it is told. Curious, when so many others are keenly included. The message about music here is powerful -- inclusive, goes everywhere, grows and changes, holds all kinds of meanings as it moves through our lives and social contexts. Absolutely, the best presentation I've seen on We Shall Overcome. Wonderful!!!

    Giving credit to Atron Twigg and Kenneth Morris, would took Rev. Tindley song and put the words together for this one. But it was Lucille Simmons, in 1945 that help bring the song to the prominence that it is today. She started singing it at a labour protest in SC; and change the word I to "WE". She then brought the song to Highlander Folk School,where she shared it with other labor activists. At the time , Zilphia Horton, head of the school’s cultural program, learned the song and taught it to Pete Seeger.
    He (Pete), sang it when Martin Luther King visited to give a speech 10 years later and the song gained popularity until today. So I give big credit to the late Lucille Simmons Whipper who dead this past August 2021.

      Hey Friend! Thank you for your support and for the comment. You’ve illuminated some blind spots that I neglected 🙏🏽 I think I also (unconsciously) prioritize archival footage, and the predominance of footage of certain historical figures over others influenced how I cut this together too. But, to your point, pointing out not only the popularizers but The Who taught those popularizers goes a long way in doing our historical work. I appreciate you!!

      In one of her interviews, Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon is asked about this. She paused for a moment and then began talking about how Seeger worked on the song at Highlander and then took it back North, returning it to the South some time later. It's a fascinating interview. Dr. Reagon's love for African American music history is on full display. I think it was a Democracy Now interview with Amy Goodman.

    Thank you so much for this music history. The only other person I know whose soul is filled with a love of African American music history is Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon. I knew that Pete Seeger had changed the word "will" to "shall," because Dr. Reagon speaks about this and how the Seegers gave unendly of themselves. Toshi Reagon is, after all, named after Toshi Seeger. But I had never heard that the melody was informed by "No More Auction Block."

    Although the pieces explored may have contributed to the development of “We Shall Overcome”, I think the word “borrowed” implies a conscious intent.
    How much of the melody from “O Sanctissima” is “borrowed”?
    Again, thank you for the exploration into this incredibly important piece of music and history.

    Great video. The song "No more auction block" wasn't created by military men during the Civil War; however, it was a Negro Spiritual dating long before the Civil War.
