TRUTH !!
It was originally written as "I'll Overcome Someday" by Charles Albert
Tindley, an AME minister and was published in a hymnal in 1901. In 1909 the
United Mine Workers allegedly opened every meeting, while on strike, with
the singing of the song, changing the "I" to a "we" for the first time.
(There is some question whether or not it was exactly the same song, but it
seems to be taken that was.) Over the years various words and lines were
changed and other verses added. In the winter of 1945-46, striking tobacco
workers in South Carolina ended each day with a "long-meter version" of the
song. Later it was printed in an issue of People's Songs where Pete Seeger,
a founding member of People's Songs, changed the title to "We Will Overcome"
and added some other verses. It was recorded in an album of Labor songs,
issued by the CIO in 1950. In 1957 Dr. King heard Seeger sing it and was
quite taken by it.
