I still can feel the tears rolling down my cheeks from singing “We Shall Overcome.” My fellow civil rights workers and I would stand in a circle holding hands and sing as though our lives depended on it – and sometimes they did. “We Shall Overcome” will always be the song that inspired me to act. “Selma” gives us a masterful look at civil rights history, but “Glory” gives us a modern anthem for the new movement for civil rights. My tears flowed as I watched the Academy Awards and I thanked Common and John Legend for the music that will move new generations to achieve great things.
