We Shall Not Be Moved

~Civil Rights Anthem

~this version sung by the incomparable Mavis Staples

As told by Ms. Staples:
You know, back in the day, we'd march all day long. We get hungry, stop in a restaurant to get something to eat. We sat down. The waitress said, "We don't serve your kind in here." Well, she didn't say "your kind", she used a different word. Well, we just sat there. She came back and told us to leave. We sat there. She said, "If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!" We just sat there, and when the police came for us, we sat there. And we linked arms, and we sang this song....
