We Shall Overcome

I stumbled upon this video on youtube. Before I even finished it, I knew it would be one of my favorite videos. What this is an original composition called "Enoch's Meditation", and it uses audio from Martin Luther King's speech "We Shall Overcome" and Barack Obamas victory speech. I spent over an hour trying to find the transcript to MLK's "We Shall Overcome" speech but I was able to find Obamas part. Watch and Listen carefully! This video is definitely worth taking the time to watch. Not only is the music enjoyable and fitting, but the message really has an effect, and the speeches are amazing just to listen to. A person may die, but their ideas can live on forever.

President Barack Obama-

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voices could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled -- Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America!"
