We shall overcome
Samen voor gelijke rechten
We shall overcome is een gospelsong en protestlied. Het werd vaak gezongen door Afro-Amerikanen in de strijd voor emancipatie en voor gelijkheid van blank en zwart in de Verenigde Staten in het begin van de 20e eeuw. Nadien werd het nummer bewerkt voor de protesten voor burgerrechten door Seeger, Zilphia Horton, Frank Hamilton en Guy Carawan.
