Dear Mr. President, We Shall Overcome

We Shall Overcome

This is a civil rights movement song created in the 1947 to give hopes to those who believed nothing was possible. This song is similar to “Dear Mr. President” because both are soft songs which you can’t dance to, but rather listen to the words and understand the deep meaning it contains. However, “We Shall Overcome” is all about bringing homes to the society and being optimistic; “Dear Mr. President” is about reminding us how a symbolic figure is lacking to look at the world from a normal perspective, and being rather pessimistic.
