We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I know that I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

"We shall overcome, Deep in my heart I do believe we shall overcome. I joined hands with students behind jail bars singing "We shall overcome". Sometimes we had tears in our eyes when we joined together to sing it, but we still decided to sing it, "We shall overcome"."

馬丁.路德.金："Let me proclaim here and now, that I'm still convinced, that the philosophy and practice of non-violence affords a more excellent way to improve the inadequacies existing in the American social system. The method of non-violent resistance is effective, and that it has a way of disarming the opponent. It exposes moral defences, weakens his morale, at the same time it works on his conscience. I believe we will win it because the goal of America is freedom. Abused and scorned we may be, our destiny is tied up with the destiny of America."
