As our Hiroshima and Nagasaki events are being held online this year, we wanted to share the spirit of community so often felt at these events, that helps us to persevere in our mission.
Last year, London CND coordinator Hannah Kemp-Welch represented CND at the World Conference Against A&H bombs in Japan. There, she recorded some of the singing she heard at the conference - attended by 5,000 people from all over the world, committed to campaigning until nuclear weapons are abolished.
Listen to activitsts from around the globe singing ‘We Shall Overcome’ on 6th August 2019 in Hiroshima, and do sing-a-long from home!
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand someday.
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall live in peace someday.
We are not afraid, we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
