Now we had 8,000 people with us.
We are on the move.
We shall overcome.
For two days we marched.
Rain could not stop us.
The world was watching.
The White House was too.
President Johnson even sent troops to protect us.
Check out the crowd.
Black, white, Christian, Jewish, all standing together.
Exhaustion could not stop us.
As we reached Montgomery, Alabama, tears were shed.
But this time, they were tears of joy.
In my life, people tried to tell me I wasn't as good as they were just because of the color of my skin.
When someone hurts you like that, it can be tempting to hurt them back.
You must refuse.
When someone shows you hate, show them love.
When someone shows you violence, show them kindness.
To reach our goals, we must walk the path of peace.
We must lock arms with our brothers and sisters.
