African American Music

I picked this piece because it was the offical song for the African American Civil Rights Movements. It speaks of the hope the African Americans have that some day they will overcome the trials and obstacles that many of them face, and they will be set free. I think that even though they are no longer slaves, this song still applies to many African Americans as many of them still feel racism against them.
