    Such a powerful, deeply moving song of steadfast determination.

    “…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.”

    I was absolutely amazed when I watched the Oscars and saw the stage set for the performance of Glory!


    • Yahtzee,
      I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I did watch the Academy Awards that year. The performance and song captured me. It is powerful.
