We Shall Overcome

We Shall Overcome is a phrase used by the Civil Rights Movement in the United States to express hope and encourage people to stand up and fight for justice and equality. This phrase was first used in the early 1900s and is from a traditional spiritual song. The phrase has become a rallying cry of hope and determination for many people who are fighting against oppressive regimes and inequality. It is meant to encourage people to keep pushing for their rights even when it seems impossible.
