We shall overcome--very moving she gets totally saturated with the song, even at the end as she walks from the mic the power of her voice is still overwhelming. This song was a staple of the civil rights movement, Mahalia worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King. She also sang Precious Lord at his funeral in 1968

This comment is just 'reverse' racism. Its ignorance. Do you know the slack those 'white' people could have faced in the 60s for being there. Just by being there it broke racism and racial boundries. And here you are giving them slack because they couldnt understand the struggle. Yes it is a different understanding and not one birthed out of derict experiance perhaps. Do you know though and acknowledge that white people also fought and died in the racial movements of the 60's and 70's?

The Whites in the audience cannot identify with the struggle which fuels the passion of the song. This is a approiate response from many who have know no struggle.

The greatest gospel singer/messenger ever! ... Giving her final seal of glory and life over to God! ...Going over yonder to be with my LORD!**I am specchless and in tears at the impact of her voice on this song and the movement of people that came out. It reminds me of Dr. King, whether they were captivated or disheartened ... every soul in that place was touched.Thanks again elfeco for these timeless treasures.
