The first verse has only twenty-two words,  most of them repeated. The melody is straightforward. The chords are  basic. Yet the song has had a profound effect on people throughout the  United States—and the world. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003eIn clear, accessible  language Stuart Stotts explores the roots of the tune and the lyrics in  traditional African music and Christian hymns. He demonstrates the key  role “We Shall Overcome” played in the civil rights, labor, and anti-war  movements in America. And he traces the song’s transformation into an  international anthem. With its dramatic stories and memorable quotes,  this saga of a famous piece of music offers a unique way of looking at  social history. \u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s note, bibliography, source notes, index.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46251743936767,"sku":"9780547182100","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780547182100_s600x595.jpg?v=1781544044","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780547182100","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
