It’s amazing how the message of this song lasts. I recently attended a protest over the outrage of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others. We sang this song
"...deep in my heart I do believe, we shall overcome some day... [I] am not afraid ...today..." Many blessings, in peace. Now is the time. Now is the day.
I saw old Japanese Okinawan women and men sing this protesting the conduct of the American military bases in their country. It made me cry. I sure hope they will get their wish. We wait for justice together, the world over.
