When you hear people all over the world singing, "We Shall Overcome" - whether it's China, South Africa, in the old Soviet Union, East Germany and Poland - that inspiration came from 14 churches and a small group of people in a Southern city that most people had never heard of.  I know most people had never heard of Martin Luther King before the March on Washington, and Birmingham was before the March on Washington, and the world has changed so drastically in these last few years.

Listen and watch the history of faith-based community organizing as the story is told by one of the country's most powerful organizing bodies.
