    Lyrics:
    Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,
    Oh freedom over me.
    And before I'd be a slave
    I'd be buried in my grave
    And go home to my Lord and be free.
    No more weepin,(don't you know), no more weepin,
    no more weepin over me.
    And before I'd be a slave
    I'd be buried in my grave
    And go home to my Lord and be free.
    Oh freedom,
    Oh, freedom, Oh, freedom,
    Oh freedom over me.
    And before I'd be a slave
    I'd be buried in my grave
    And go home to my Lord and be free.
    And before I'd be a slave
    I'd be buried in my grave
    And go home to my Lord and be free.

      Of course you were raised by the white side and of course you won't ever acknowledge why that's so and why that relates to most if not all the issues that AA's go through in the US. but yeah, it's much easier to blame others ain't it. And I'm talking about 2023, not 1950's which of course was a different story. Focus on building up and improving your communities with regards to fatherlessness and crime. That's how you uplift, not by obsessing on things that happened decades if not centuries ago.

    As an Asian person I could honestly say that Black Americans are the foundation of the US. If it weren’t for them none of us minorities would have had as much rights as we currently have. I will forever support and stand up for the black community.
    Update 6/4/2020: I’m actually really surprised with how many responses my comment received. I would like some of you to understand that my initial comment was not meant to dismiss other racial groups’ suffering. To those who thanked me, please don’t. Instead, let’s thank and keep supporting the black community for fighting for all of us. My belief still has not changed to this day and I will do as much as I can to help. Stay safe everyone.

      I’m white, but I was raised to believe in equality. I believe in accepting eachother, no matter what race, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. It’s better now that people fought back, because it knocked some sense into my race that equality is important to peace. If nobody had fought back, things might have been different. But thankfully it didn’t go that way.

      Hi,
      You don't have to be religious to find Jesus. He's not prescribed to a particular religion. At least not the way most people define the term. He is bigger than any religion. He's called the Saviour, the cure for the human soul. He's a friend when no one else is around

    As a minority (im not african american though) I have so much gratitude to the African American community. They stood up for their rights, but also for all other minorities. The diversity of America and its present day prosperity would be non-existent if it werent for their hard work and contributions. People can say what they want about African Americans, but at the end of the day they are the community that truly shaped the United States and its present day values, and brought it into the modern world. Much love!

    Wow, cette interprétation de "Oh Freedom!" par The Golden Gospel Singers est absolument envoûtante ! J'ai toujours été fasciné par la puissance émotionnelle de la musique gospel, et cette performance ne fait pas exception.
    La façon dont les voix se mêlent harmonieusement est tout simplement magique. Chacun des chanteurs apporte une intensité unique à la chanson, créant ainsi une atmosphère chargée d'émotions. On ressent vraiment la passion et la dévotion dans chaque note.
    "Oh Freedom!" est une chanson qui a une histoire profonde, étant un hymne du mouvement des droits civiques aux États-Unis. L'interprétation par The Golden Gospel Singers rend hommage à cette histoire tout en faisant vibrer nos âmes. C'est un rappel puissant de la lutte pour la liberté et l'égalité.
    La vidéo elle-même est également très bien réalisée. Les plans de caméra captent parfaitement l'expression sur les visages des chanteurs, nous permettant de voir à quel point ils sont investis dans leur performance. Le montage est fluide, ce qui permet de se plonger complètement dans la musique.
    En fin de compte, cette vidéo est une célébration de la musique gospel dans toute sa splendeur. Elle nous rappelle l'importance de la musique comme moyen d'expression, de guérison et de connexion. J'espère que les Golden Gospel Singers continueront à partager leur talent avec le monde, car leur interprétation de "Oh Freedom!" est véritablement inspirante.

      +TheHeartMadeOfStone Being Hispanic in this nation wasn't a walk in the park. Really, so many nationalities had to fight before they were accepted, even some white people like the Irish, Jewish, and Italian immigrants who came at the Turn of the Century. KKK targeted Jews as well as black people. The Native Americans still don't get the respect they deserve. This song is powerful because it reaches the hearts of many who struggled to be respected in this country, the USA. Hopefully, we reach a point where people truly are accepted. But it starts with each one of us. As an African American, I've seen racism on so many levels. Hatred is a deeply rooted mental sickness.

My great grandfather was stationed in the UK during WW2, he was in the 392nd Engineer General service regiment which was a segregated black regiment. He would of came to the UK with open arms as us Brits accepted anybody and viewed everybody that came to the UK as an equal. This song brings me emotions of what my great grandfather must've felt being in an alien like society where he wasn't judged for the colour of his skin. It's one thing to fight for your country, but to fight it whilst being treated as a second class citizen is the most heroic thing I think anybody can do.

People are capable of such cruelty, but oppressing innocent human beings and taking their freedom away that is the worst. But then there's people like Martin L. King who were brave enough to take a stand and fight. And that keeps my faith in humankind unshaken. One good person can be worth a thousant bad ones and certainly can make a difference.

    I'm white and this just brings tears to my eyes thinking about the crimes my people committed on the African American community. I can't even begin to imagine how this song must fill the hearts of the black community with pride and heartbreak to think of the atrocities your ancestors endured and still came out victorious to leave a legacy of strength, nobility and grace for their children that has endured for generations and generations yet to come.

      Support reparations because it’s a generational debt that is still owed 🙏🏽
