The correct answer is we shall overcome

This is a gospel song that rose to prominence during the civil rights struggle era and became the unofficial anthem of the movement. Story says that it was originally sung by union workers who wanted to get better working conditions, but it perfectly fit the desire for ensuring the passing of the civil rights act and helping African-Americans.
