Joan Baez is an American folksinger. She made the song "We Shall Overcome" popular during the Civil Rights Movement when she sang it at the March on Washington, the political rally where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous "I have a dream" speech. The inspirational song talks about uniting as a group and overcoming the challenge together. It expresses that if the group continues to fight, then one day they will overcome the struggle. This song symbolizes the struggle for freedom and equal rights for African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement. Many people felt that if they joined together and worked together, than they could be successful. As a result, more and more people joined and fought for the movement in hopes of overcoming discrimination.
