We Shall Overcome Fund
"We Shall Overcome" served as the theme song of the Civil Rights Movement and is now a worldwide anthem for freedom and justice. Since 1966, Highlander has administered the We Shall Overcome Fund, which is generated by royalties from the commercial use of "We Shall Overcome." Created to nurture grassroots efforts within African American communities to use art and activism against injustice, the We Shall Overcome Fund supports organizing in the South that is at the nexus of culture and social change.
