Throughout the song, many words are used to describe the conditions in which African-Americans were in, on their way to accomplishing their goal of equality for everyone. However, the ones that felt most powerful to me were, “One son died, his spirit is revisitin’ us.” This statement, in particular stood out to me for several reasons, one of which being how it portrays the struggles people had to go through, to finally receive equal rights and the deaths that took place in the process for what those people believed in. Those people, that the lyrics explains did not die in vain, but instead helped encourage people to join the cause and fight for what’s right. The people who sacrificed their lives for the greater good will always be remembered for their contribution to the mission of having equal rights for everyone around the world, not just America.

Q4-  "How does the song suggest that we need to keep fighting for equal rights for all? Use text evidence to support your answer."

The song suggests that we need to keep fighting for equal rights for all when the lyrics state, "Now the war is not over, victory isn't won." This lyric goes to show that the war about race is never over and that we should always to continue fighting for equality and peace.

# data[].attributes.body
Q3 -  "'The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful'  What does this line mean in the song?"

The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful means that violence isn't the answer and that refraining from it will lead to change. Martin Luther king led peaceful protests and did most of his fighting for freedom, in a peaceful way in the use of marches and sit ins. This is why they refer their "biggest weapon" is peace.

# data[].attributes.body
4. The song suggests that we should keep fighting for equal rights because it says "Now the war is not over, victory isn't won."
Which means that not everyone is still not treated equally. That mean we still have to fight to get treated the same and fairly.

# data[].attributes.body
3. The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" means that violence is not the answer. The peaceful way is the way to do things that usually have violence involved. Being peaceful has a bigger impact than being violent.

# data[].attributes.body
4.The song suggest that we should keep fighting for equal rights for all because      the song is trying to help us see what they were going through.As the text states,"but they couldn't vote..."This impacted there lives because then they couldn't pick there futures.
6.I think it is a fitting title because in the end they won there freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
2. the line that talks about Martin Luther King being a leader is on the second column when it says "the dark roads he rose ........". it says he rose and became a hero to people all throughout america and motivated people to help tings become better.
7. legands, blessings juxtaposition, resistance, Ferguson
legends and blessings are important words because in the song they are talking about famous people that  stood up for what they believe in. Juxtaposition means that they are close to getting what they want. resistance they refuse to do what they known is wrong and ferguson is the police officers in missouri.

1) The overall mood of the song is to power through. The song has a very deep meaning behind it. The lines that helped me understand is " Now the war is not over, Victory isn't won" those lyrics are saying that the war for equality is not over and they haven't won yet.

# data[].attributes.body
3) " The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" This means that the most important/effective thing is to stay peaceful because instead of causing violence, and being angry towards other and making them angry towards you, You can use a different approach and that is using peace.

7) "They say 'stay down' and we stand up" is one of the most powerful line to me because, he is saying that the police is telling them to stay down, but instead of baking down they are protest for their rights and the are standing up and showing them that they wont turn back. " Facin' the league of justice his power was the people" is also another important line because, Common is saying that they had to go against the league of justice and we he says "he's power was the people" I think that means that instead of using weapons he use people to show that this is unfair and that there really is power in numbers

# data[].attributes.body
2) I think that The line "King Pointed to the
mountain top and we ran up." Can be taken as if MLK said to march from Selma to Montgomery. In which case it says that the Civil Rights Movement would follow him and do what he said.

7)  I  think  the most powerful  line is when  Common sings  Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Every day women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtapositionin' us
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
That's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, "Stay down", and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up."  I really think that it's like saying ha you can't  oppress  us.

# data[].attributes.body
The song suggests that we need to keep fighting for equal rights for all by describing that, "Now the war is not over" meaning that we are still fighting for our rights. Also, for example, when it states, "And we'll fight on to the finish" expressing that we'll keep fighting for our rights until it is all done.

# data[].attributes.body
The line, "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" explains that using weapons or violence in general can't find a solution. Using kindness and peace can lead you places.

# data[].attributes.body
7. I believe he most powerful words in the song is "Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon." I believe this is the most powerful words in the song because it could mean one of two things. The first is that it could mean that the greatest weapon we have is ourselves. It could also mean that we will fight peacefully and with no weapons.

# data[].attributes.body
6. I think "Glory" is a fitting title because glory means to take pride in, which is what the whole song is about. The song is about people fighting peacefully for what they believe in and to be proud of what they are doing.

# data[].attributes.body
7.) I think that the most powerful line from this song was "the biggest weapon is to stay peaceful." I say this because without peace there is violence and violence comes with people getting hurt. Nowadays, this would fit perfectly to our younger generation because they feel that violence is the key but don't know that piece would solve the problem without anyone being hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
#7 "Now the war is not over victory isn't won but we'll fight on to the finish and when it's all done we'll cry glory oh glory oh hoo ".These words are most powerful because the song is trying to say the fight isn't over and they won't stop fighting until all the racism and the segregation will be over.

# data[].attributes.body
#1 The overall mood of the song is to power through and persevere and overcome difficult times .In the song it says "it will be ours it will be ours"meaning that they aren't going to stop fighting until they are all equal with one another.

# data[].attributes.body
6.) Yes I believe "Glory" fits the title for the song because the definition of glory is honor won by notable achievements. That is exactly what everyone did. They fought peacefully for a very huge reason and they achieved their goal and this was acknowledged around the world

# data[].attributes.body
6.) Glory fits the song because the song is about racism and segregation and they want equal rights for everyone
7.) "no one can with the war individually" This means that they all have to fight together in order to get equal rights. One person protesting won't really help but alot  will help because they will see how much people care

# data[].attributes.body
3.) The lyric "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" I believe mainly speaks to the way they brought change about in Selma. The colored of Selma did not use violence against those of higher powers to get what they deserved. Instead they made a peaceful march to bring change. In the minds of most people the approach they took was not expected. Violence and hatred are expected because of them being known as a weapon. However, being peaceful can be just as much a weapon because it can break hatred.
4.) The song Glory suggests that we need to keep fighting for equal rights. Lyrics like "Justice is juxtaposition in us" make the suggestion evident. Juxtaposition means when two things together contrast greatly. This lyric is basically saying that us, being people, we do not mix with justice, that is unusual. "Resistance is us" is a lyric that I believe means only we can resist the injustices that are served.

# data[].attributes.body
6.) I think the title "Glory" is a fitting title for the song. Throughout the whole song, it talks about glory, and how people had to fight for it. It is a good title because African-Americans used peaceful protests and other methods to get equal rights to whites. When they finally got that equality, they got the glory that they had been fighting for.

# data[].attributes.body
7.) I will say the most powerful words in Glory From Selma by John Legend are " Enemy are lethal". I chose this line because it's very powerful. No one knows what their enemy is capable of doing. Enemies can be so dangerous and deadly this is why it's good to get along with people and treat them how you want to be treated always.

# data[].attributes.body
7.) I think the lines "King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up" and "They say stand down, and we stand up. Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up" were the most powerful lines in the song. The first line show show many people followed what MLK did, and they had to climb the mountain to reach the top, where they would receive their freedom. The second line shows how the people would do anything to fight for the cause, putting themselves in harm's way , and in some cases, being killed.

# data[].attributes.body
5.) I think the lines "Oh, one day, when the war is won We will be sure, we will be here sure" shows that everyone needs to stand up to fight for equal rights. Also that we will all be one despite the color of our skin or the content of our character.

# data[].attributes.body
7.) The words from this song that is most powerful too me is when Common raps and states "King Pointed to the mountain top and we ran up." I feel this is meaningful because MLk really fought hard to provide freedom for all races not just blacks. Also the reason why is because we as a people climbed that mountain and we still are climbing up to the top.  MLK had a dream a dream that led thousands upon thousands of people to fight for civil rights. So that's why I believe that this is an important verse of this song "Glory".
6.) Yes I do believe that it should be called "Glory". The reason why is because when the blacks were being terrorized and stressed they really didn't have anywhere to turn. So what they did do was turn to the civil right leaders. The civil rights leaders were the Glory for the blacks. The black people looked for religion, glory, redemption, and god. So the song should be called Glory. The label glory really fits the song title.

2) The lines in the lyrics that expressed Dr. Martin Luther King was a leader were, "From dark roads he rose, to become a hero. Facin' the league of justice, his power was the people." These lines explain that Martin Luther King came from a little neighbor of "dark roads" from which he was able to leave from and follow his dream. With his dream being white and black people get along, he was able to tell that to the people in churches, marches, and live television. Of course he did face the danger of white police men, but that did not stop him because he fought with no violence. After all his power was the people because they believed in him, his dream, and beating segregation.
4) This song suggests that we need to keep fighting because not all wrongs in this world is over or taken care of. There is still racism, immigration, etc. Text states, " Now we right the wrongs in history. No one can win the war individually." This explains that the war isn't over even after so any years. Even after what MLK did when he was alive, there is still a lot of things needing to be fixed in today's history. With everyone just speaking and not taking action, how can we fight together and break down the walls of wrong with only few people. We need all the people that believe in freedom, justice, hope, and change in today's history. Hopefully with this mindset we can change people's differences.

# data[].attributes.body
7) The lines that are most powerful through this song is, "It takes the wisdom of elders and young people's energy." This means that this peaceful protest and all hard work to stop blacks and whites from being segregated, didn't just take one person to do. It takes everyone to help out and make the dream come true. This is also related to the line, "No one can win the war individually." This is a perfect representation of how the elderly and the young were all part of helping  the segregation from being stopped and excluded from the world we live in today.

# data[].attributes.body
2)  The line that expresses that MLK was a leader is , "From the dark roads he rose, to become a hero." This represents that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a hero because even though during his whole life he was treated very badly just because he was an African American, he still became a hero. How he became a hero is because he lead many people by marches. He was even kind and respectful enough to do peaceful marches because he didn't want to solve they're problems being violent. These are true hero qualities which definitely suits Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

# data[].attributes.body
The line that represents that Martin Luther King was a leader was "King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up" this line shows that he was leading this march.
Freedom, is important because it means that they are trying to become free. Peaceful, this is important because martin wanted peace and didn't involve violence. Justice, this is important because people wanted justice.

# data[].attributes.body
2) The lines from the song "Glory" that express Martin Luther King was a leader were "King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up." I say this line because it basically says that Martin marched for equal rights and the people did with him, which is showing he is a leader to the people. The other line from the song "Glory" was "From dark roads he rose, to become a hero." I say this line because it shows that "he" Martin Luther King is a hero and a hero is a leader.
7) The most powerful words in the song "Glory" is "no weapon" because it represents there was a movement in peace. Another one is " Facin' the league of the justice, his power was the people" because this represents that it couldn't just take one person to stand up, they needed all too. And the last one is "Every day women and men become legends" because this line talks about all the men and women who stood up for their rights, making segregation over.

# data[].attributes.body
6)Yes, because it talks about how they have the right against segregation.

I feel like the most powerful words in the song are, "Now the war is not over, victory isn't won, and we'll find on to the finish, and then when it's all done we'll cry glory..."
I feel like those are the most powerful words because those words express how even when things are getting hard, the blacks will not give up to fight for what is right. It's saying how you need to work for what you want because not everything is handed to you on a silver platter, and giving up isn't the way to go. You fight and fight for what you believe is right and then the words also mention how when you finally have what you fought so hard for, you'll be proud of what you accomplished. That's why it says they'll cry "glory."

7. The words in the song "Glory" are powerful. There are certain lyrics in the song that are very powerful such as, "They say, 'Stand down' and we stand up." Those words explain how Africans Americans stood up for their rights during that time. Other powerful lyrics include "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful." The line shows how most African Americans stay passive  and don't try to fight back violently. Those powerful lyrics show how the African Americans fought through segregation.
8. The theme of the song "Glory" is to never give up. This is because the African Americans never gave up fighting for their rights. Even if they were mentally and physically harassed through those times, they never gave in. They had been strong the whole time during segregation. They never seized to give up because of how they were treated. The theme of "Glory" is to show never to give up for the right thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Q 7: the most important lines are, " The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful." I believe this because it is what the black people did to fight for their rights. They believed that violence is not necessary for the matter. That with non-violence they will make it farther. This is why I believe this is the most powerful words in the song.

4. The song "Glory" suggests that we keep fighting for equal rights for all by saying, "Now the war is not over, victory isn't won. We'll fight on to the finish and when it' s all done, we'll cry glory, oh glory, we'll cry glory, oh glory." This stanza of the song accurately supports my claim because it suggest that if we are losing the battle, we keep fighting for equal rights for all!

# data[].attributes.body
"The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful"
I think that line means that staying peaceful or being peaceful especially in that situation shows how strong you really are. It's like when people say "violence is never the answer." That line is basically trying to say that, staying peaceful just shows that they aren't letting the laws or the prejudiced people stop them in fighting for what's right.

# data[].attributes.body
Q 8: The message of the song is too stand up for what you believe in. This is shown by the marches that the black people did to get equal rights. This is how the message of the song is to stand up and fight for what you believe is right.

1. The overall mood of the song, "Glory" is freedom and empowerment for the African Americans. Through the rap in this song, can hear to problems the protesters had to go through. The song's extensive vocabulary give you a sense of empowerment and freedom. A lyric to explain the mood is, "Victory isn't won, and we'll fight on to the finish, and wen its all done, we will cry glory..." These lyrics greatly display the mood because they reflect empowerment among the singer, listener, and reader.

I believe the most powerful lyrics are, "When it go down we woman and man up. They say 'Stand down' and we stand up. Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up." I believe these lyrics are extremely powerful because of how it explains that even if you're scared you have to "man up" and do it because that is what you believe and if you really care, you will fight even if people tell you otherwise. The line that really stood out to me was the last lyric. This is because the fighting and violence applyed to the marchers wee so disturbing and grotesque, that the people recording it all had to "pan up" to hide the ugliness of it all.

# data[].attributes.body
The mood portrayed in the song "Glory" is freedom and perseverance for the people. You can hear the struggle and hardship in these lyrics without even listening to the song because the vocabulary and rhythm that is used in writing the song. A lyric to explain the mood in an excellent way is "The movement is a rhythm to us. Freedom is like religion to us." This is powerful because these people believed so much in what they were fighting for, it was as major as practicing or believing in a certain religion.

Q: What words from this song are most powerful? List those words below and explain how these are the most powerful.

A: The words from the song that I found most powerful were:
"When it go down we woman and man up. They say 'Stand down' and we stand up. Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up." This is because it show the determination and passion that they held onto throughout the difficult journey that lead to freedom, and equality for all people despite their skin colors. It shows that if you believe in something, you need to fight for it and show how devoted to it you actually are. These words inspire me to fight for what I believe in.

#3:
Q: "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" What does this line mean in the song? Explain.

A: The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" basically means that you shouldn't fight fire with fire, or you shouldn't respond to violence with violence. You need to remain nonviolent in order to achieve anything, as violence isn't productive, nor is it effective. Relating to history, black people had both peacefully and violently attempted to gain equality, but only one way had become well-known and had done anything, and that was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's idea. He had achieved so much by remaining peaceful, alongside many other people who fought with not a thing but kindness and peace. (and protests, boycotts, etc.)

A line from the song that express that M.L.K was a leader  is "When it go down we women and man up

The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" means that avoiding war and following the path of peace will lead to goals and achivements. In Selma the police force and other hateful whites used violence against the marchers. Despite this they decided to remain peaceful. Successfully, the marchers along with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. acheived their goals by bringing their situation to a higher power than the mayor. The success of the blacks and African Americans in their march is an example of the meaning of the line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful". The line means that trailing the path of no violence will conquer and accomplish more than war.

# data[].attributes.body
The words from the song I find the most powerful are, "They say 'Stay down' and we stand up, Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up". This is because it shows that they will stop at nothing to get their equal rights, even if it means getting killed for what they believe in.
One day, when the war is won

# data[].attributes.body
The song name "Glory" is a fitting title. One of the reasons I believe this is because it is the word that can be seen repeated throughout the song. Also, the entire song is about how they will fight for their equality or "glory" per say.

# data[].attributes.body
The song suggests that we need to keep fighting for equal rights for all in the line where it says "Now the war is not over, victory isn't won" means there is still places where not everyone is not equal whether it is their gender, their skin color, or their religion and we need to keep fighting until everyone has the same rights and is not judged by anything about them.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think that "Glory" is a well fitted title for this song. Reasons for this is that the song itself talking about the battle that the African Americans had with well basically the government to ensure equal rights for all people. The title "Glory" resembles the fact that the African Americans won this battle and claimed the glory of being able to vote and do all things that white people could do. This is why the song becomes so motivational and strong because it shows the power and courage that people had to stand up for what they believed in and claimed what was rightfully theirs which was their freedom

The words that ring out the most true are Glory, freedom, blessings, Lord, justice, hero, and most importantly, Victory. These words describe the march itself. What they were fighting for, justice and victory. What they counted on, the Lord and their blessings. And the feeling of being successful, victory

"The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" this line means that we all have to do what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had stood up for and stand up to hate with peace because they should not treat people of another ethnicity like they are cattle and treat them like human beings.

The mood of the song is definitely somber, yet hopeful. The songs lyrics say "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful". How they were beaten on and how they refused to attack back is somber, but remaining peaceful shows their belief and hope in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I believe that "Glory" is a fitting title for this song. The lyrics of this song represent how African Americans finally gained their freedom and became equal with everyone else in society. The meaning of Glory relates to this topic because African American leaders achieved glory after marching and using peaceful protests. Glory relates to this topic because after reaching freedom they finally made "glory" which this song talks about.

From reading the lyrics of the song, there are words throughout the song that are very powerful. One in specific is "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful". This quote is extremely important and has been shown throughout history. We must come together by fighting without violence, but instead with peace. This quote relates to the Civil Rights Movement and how people fought for their rights with their words not their body. Martin Luther King Jr. led many African Americans in marches to rebel against the whites. The quote relates to this situation and many others in our world

# data[].attributes.body
The lyrics of the song suggests that we need to keep fighting for equal rights by saying the lyrics, "Now the war is not over victory isn't won and we'll fight on to the finish then when it's all done." These lyrics tell us how the war of equal rights for all is not yet finished. We see this all the time on the news and how people are still not giving African Americans the equal rights that they deserve. It is our job to make sure that we fight for this cause because everyone has the right to be free and have the same rights as everyone else because without equality we can't come together as a country.

# data[].attributes.body
The most powerful words from the song are "Freedom is like religion to us", "No one can win the war individually", and "Justice for all just ain't specific enough". These words show that our belief in freedom is so strong that it has become a faith to us and that it is a given right. Also, the lines show that we must work together in order to reach our goal because it would be impossible to achieve it without support from each other. Furthermore, these words show that even though it is said that everyone gets justice, some people may be overlooked. And it is for that reason the Civil Rights Movement took place and why we must continue the fight for rights and opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the song, many words are used to describe the conditions in which African-Americans were in, on their way to accomplishing their goal of equality for everyone. However, the ones that felt most powerful to me were, “One son died, his spirit is revisitin’ us.” This statement, in particular stood out to me for several reasons, one of which being how it portrays the struggles people had to go through, to finally receive equal rights and the deaths that took place in the process for what those people believed in. Those people, that the lyrics explains did not die in vain, but instead helped encourage people to join the cause and fight for what’s right. The people who sacrificed their lives for the greater good will always be remembered for their contribution to the mission of having equal rights for everyone around the world, not just America.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the term “glory” fits this song the best, in many ways, such as, the success African-Americans had in their goal of achieving equal rights. It is the best word to describe how African-Americans felt after finally getting what they deserved, especially after all the violent and hurtful actions against them on their mission. The song spreads awareness about how people stood up for what they believed was right and it was so effective, to the point where they finally achieved for what so many people have sacrificed their life for. This goes along with the meaning of glory, since the Civil Rights leaders were given glory for the major roles they played and they were praised for their bravery on the mission of equality for everyone.

The song "glory" suggests that we need t keep fighting for all equal rights for in many ways. What i see is how in the song he says " one day when the war is one it will be ours" and i see this and think it doesn't matter what you are battling it can we overcome. Just because you want something and people don't agree with it doesn't mean your wrong. Fighting for what you believe in also doesn't mean violence has to be involved. this is why the people who believed in equal rights for all has changed history. #4

# data[].attributes.body
The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" means that refraining from violence is the most effective way to get what we want. Peaceful protests led by Martin Luther King Jr. proved this and showed people that the country was in need of a change. Because of the peacefulness and persistence of the people leading the Civil Rights Movement, black people have more opportunities.

The part in the song "the biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" means that fighting the people we should be working with wont help anything. back then what the black people wanted wasn't to rule over the white people and do the same thing but to come together and work to solve their differences. if we was to fight back the way that the white people did us black people nothing would have been solved. this is why fighting back in violence to anything isnt good because isnt ever gonna make anything right. #3

Question #7
The words from this song that are most powerful are "Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles". This means that we came such a long way to just give up and let them them win. We walked miles to show them that we mean something and just as we hit a bump in the road doesn't mean that we give in and turn back and act like it didn't happen. We need to strive and go bigger and do not go back home until we got what we came for. Meaning once we take one step that's it, there's no looking back, it may cost us a lot but at the end it will all be worth it.

The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" in the song means that violence is not the answer. They might use weapons on us but our weapon is peace. Meaning not to have a dirty fight with blood but to have a clean fight with our equal rights that we deserve. They might not like that we sing and march but that's our way of showing that we can be strong too. We also can't do this alone we need each other to support one another.

Question 5-
I think the line from the song glory saying we should all stand together to fight equality is "Selma's now for every man, women and child even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd they marched with the torch,  we gon' run with it now" I say this line because its explaining how everyone is involved in Selma and helping out even Jesus
Question 4-
The song suggests we should fighting for equal rights in the line "Now the war is not over victory isn't won and we'll fight on to the finish then when it's all done we'll cry glory, oh glory we'll cry glory, oh glory." I think that line suggest we are still fighting for equal rights since it included 'now the war

I think the song suggest that they are fighting for freedom and don't give up keep trying until you get there.When the troopers try to stop the march the people weren't listening they were keep on going and going they didn't stop at all.

The lines that are powerful from the song "Glory" is "One son died, his spirit revisiting us" This explains how that even though people are dying they will still try to get  the point across no matter what happens. Another powerful line is that "They say 'Stand down' and we say stand up. This is a powerful line because it shows how the African Americans will do whatever it takes to make the whites understand that they forbid being treated a certain way.

The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" this line was stated in the song, "Glory" this line means that during that time, African Americans didn't have the right to vote and the African Americans didn't like how the whites alienated them.If the colored resorted to violence they would severely punished, So they tried to peacefully voice out their opinions.To put into a shorter term, violence is never the answer and voicing out what your problem is more effective.

Some words from the song that are the most powerful are as follows: one day, glory, hero, justice, and the phrase, ""No one can win the war individually..."  The first couple words explains that although it did not happen immediately, a hero (Martin Luther King), rose up to lead people to victory.  He voiced his thoughts and in the end, African Americans gained rights.  The phrase is very important because it explains how people need to stand strong together in order to succeed.  All in all, the words and phrases in this song are inspirational, telling people to believe in something, fight for it, and do it with people who will help you.

The overall mood of this song is inspiring.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a dedicated man who was always positive, and never gave up on giving people equal rights.  This song reminds us of that.  Some lines that help me understand the mood are, "Sins that go against are skins become legends..." and "One day, when the glory comes..."  The first one helped because what Dr King was fighting for, and part of what this song is portraying, is equality for all.  Skin color does not matter, we are all human.  The second line also helped me because it does not say "The glory is here," or "The glory is ours."  It says "one day."  Not yet, but one day, when victory is ours, we will be sure that there is peace.  However, until then, we must keep fighting, work together, and empower others.

Words that are the most powerful in this song were, " The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful." Martin Luther King choose to fight the battle with peace because, peacefully fighting is more effective then using violence  It shows maturity and that he was a leader. ."Freedom is like religion to us" Religion is a given right and people can choose what they believe in. They wanted freedom to become a given right for all people of any color-just like religion is a given right. "Comin' from the lord, my eyes have seen the glory." After all their fighting and suffering they were finally heard in this battle of freedom.
"one son died, his spirit is revisitin' us". When MLK died, it showed that he had such a powerful impact on us that he will be always here in spirit and remembered in history, and in every ones heart.

The overall mood of this song is to fight for what you believe in and keep pushing through the tough times/overcome what is happening. In the song, it says "when the war is won we will be sure." Meaning that when they win the battle Martin Luther King is trying to fight, it will be worth it because victory will be theirs. Also in the song it says "they say "Stand down" and we stand up". Meaning that so many people of both colors were scared to fight in what is right- equality of both races. But when they saw people fighting for them, it took courage for them to stand up and not give up.

What is the theme of this song? Remember. theme is the message that can be taken away form the lyrics.

The overall theme of this piece is to stand up to inequality and unjust laws and to fight for equal rights. Discrimination is wrong and that is what the song is saying to face segregation and discrimination based on the color of your skin or the religion you practice. The song states how Rosa Parks stayed at her seat when told to move and the peaceful protests in Ferguson, they are standing up to this and sharing their belief of equal rights for everyone. Toward the end of the song states, "It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people's energy... Welcome to what we call victory." Showing that working together to fight this injustice will bring their dream to reality.

The part of the song means to stay calm and peaceful. It shows that even when you are treated bad you shouldn't fight fire with fire. That means if they are using weapons you should be the bigger person and have a peaceful battle without using weapons that will harm anyone.That shows that being strong can just mean standing tall with each other.

The line "The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful" from the song "Glory" means that no weapon is greater than to fight with peace. During that time African Americans weren't given the right to vote so they fought for their rights. Martin Luther King Jr. thought that the only way for them to get any result in what they wanted was to take action with a peaceful protest, and not to fight with violence. Since in the future this method worked, this shows that a peaceful fight was their biggest weapon.

Some words that were the most powerful in this song were, “Truant livin’ livin’ in us, resistance is us. That’s why Rosa sat on the bus. That’s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up.” And, “Now we right wrongs in history. No one can win the war individually. It takes wisdom of the elders and young people’s energy. Welcome to the story we call victory. Comin’ of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory.” These were powerful words because it shows how much passion the people had for all this and that they wouldn’t give up on what they believed in no matter what.

The overall mood of the song is to stay positive and to never give up on what you believe. Some lines that helped me understand the overall feel of the song was, “When it go down we woman and man up. They say, “Stay down” and we stand up.” Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up. King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up.” And,  “The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful.”

Lines from the lyrics that explain that Martin Luther King Jr had been a leader were "King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up..." These are lyrics that show he had been a leader because everyone had listened to him and were willing to do whatever he had said that needed to be done and that he was the one that would be in charge of something that is happening or is going to happen in the future.

How does the song suggest that we need to keep fighting for equal rights for all? Use text evidence to support your answer.

The song suggests we need to continue to fight for equal rights for every man, women, and child. The beginning states, " Oh, one day, when the war is won." This could mean they won and now have equal rights. Line 23 states, " They say, 'stand down' and we stand up." This is referring to the civil rights movement. White people are telling the blacks to stand down and that we are not equals. But the songs says to stand up to the unjust laws and for equal rights. Line 18 shows that equal rights won't just come to us, the resistance is us. Meaning we have to stand up to inequality. Lines 19-20 are some examples of people fighting for equal rights, Rosa Parks siting on the bus and people marching in Ferguson, both protesting and fighting for the same reasons. Lines 31-52 states that to get the rights they want, they need to work together peacefully to correct the wrongs in history. The song is important in what the song's message is trying to portray, to stand up to inequality and fight for equality.

The way the song suggests that we need to keep fighting for equals rights for all is by how after the first march to Montgomery was a fail but they didn't give up they kept striving and went again. With more people from all colors races, ethnicity's, heights,and religions no matter what it was a fight to the the finish and they never gave up.

The song suggests that you have to keep fighting for our rights because the song is all about the slavery that had went on and how people had to fight to get where African-Americans are today. The song and the short story state how there had been so many wrongs but in the end they had been able to show the rights, by not only explaining them but why showing them through the lyrics and how they chose the right words to have them pieced together and get their point across.

# data[].attributes.body
The words that are most powerful are "Freedom is like a religion to us." and "They say 'Stand down' and we say stand up. These both are powerful because they are both explaining what freedom is. They are both mean to stand up for what we believe is right. We all have the courage to stand up for what is right.
