We Shall Overcome: A Song That Changed the World – An Educational Book on the International Anthem for Activism for Kids (Ages 10-12)

“We Shall Overcome” isn’t a complicated piece of music. 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.
