Although, The Original Freedom Singers lyrics are "We Shall Not Be Moved," ironically, I'm "MOVED" every-time I watch their performance at the March on Washington D.C., for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's., dream(s)!!! Ms. Rutha Mae Harris THANK YOU for your service to humanity. You are truly "MY" shero!!! FOREVER "YOUR" Pittsburgh author Renee' Drummond-Brown (Renee's Poems with Wings are Words in Flight).

Wonderful footage. What is the name of the second song?

[@brandondavidson4085]

This is what BLM is missing. They have the potential now to be the next civil rights movement, but songs like this give such power and unity. Chants are nice but 10,000 voices all lifted up in song are stronger. Remember, Joshua didn't march around Jericho shouting "No justice, no peace". The Israelites marched with song, with trumpets and drums. Music has the power to shake mountains and to move rivers.

[@ClosestToTheSun]

This is exactly what BLM is. In 50 years how will people think of you?

[@candicoated2001]

BLM is literally the modern civil rights now,

[@BIIGTIM]

lyrics to this version please
