(“Ludlow”) (collectively, the “Defendants”) possess two copyrights in the musical composition “We Shall Overcome” (the “Song” or the Case 1:16-cv-02725-DLC Document 87 Filed 09/08/17 Page 2 of 66 “Copyrighted Song”), registered as a derivative work with the Copyright Office in 1960 and 1963. In this litigation, the plaintiffs We Shall Overcome Foundation (“WSOF”) and Butler Films, LLC (“Butler”) (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) challenge through a putative class action the validity of the Defendants’ copyrights in the Song. The Plaintiffs have filed a motion for partial summary judgment in which they principally argue that the lyrics and melody in the first verse and its identical fifth verse (“Verse 1/5”) of the Song are not sufficiently original to qualify for copyright registration as a derivative work.1 For the reasons that follow, that portion of the Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment is granted.

Cohen Copyright© 2011 by Rachel Clare Donaldson All Rights Reserved For Mary, Laura, Gertrude, Elizabeth And Domenica ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation had not been for the support of many people. Historians David Carlton, Thomas Schwartz, William Caferro, and Yoshikuni Igarashi have helped me to grow academically since my first year of graduate school. From the beginning of my research through the final edits, Katherine Crawford and Sarah Igo have provided constant intellectual and professional support. Gary Gerstle has guided every stage of this project; the time and effort he devoted to reading and editing numerous drafts and his encouragement has made the project what it is today. Through his work and friendship, Ronald Cohen has been an inspiration. The intellectual and emotional help that he provided over dinners, phone calls, and email exchanges have been invaluable. I greatly appreciate Larry Isaac and Holly McCammon for their help with the sociological work in this project. I also thank Jane Anderson, Brenda Hummel, and Heidi Welch for all their help and patience over the years. I thank the staffs at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kentucky Library and Museum, the Archives at the University of Indiana, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (particularly Todd Harvey) for their research assistance.

  • “We Shall Overcome and the Southern Black Freedom Struggle”
    “We Shall Overcome and the Southern Black Freedom Struggle” David J. Garrow On October 22, 1945, 1,000 members of Local 15 of the Food, Tobacco, Agricultural, and Allied Workers Union (FTA) went on strike at an American Tobacco Company cigar factory in Charleston, SC, seeking to increase their pay to 30 cents-per-hour. The biracial group of strikers began picketing outside the brick factory building, and in later years surviving participants would recall two African American women, Delphine Brown and Lucille Simmons, as important song leaders who led the strikers in singing. Simmons was a choir member at Jerusalem Baptist Church, and fellow union members would remember her singing a well-known hymn, “I’ll Be All Right,” and altering it to give voice to the striking workers’ own aspirations: “We Will Overcome.”1 1.

Root, Professor of Music and Department Chair, Music Department ii Copyright © by Brandi Amanda Neal 2006 iii “WE SHALL OVERCOME”: FROM BLACK CHURCH MUSIC TO FREEDOM SONG Brandi Amanda Neal, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2006 The music sung by protesters in the American Civil Rights Movement was inseparable from the music in black Protestant churches. Despite the firm boundaries between the sacred and the secular in black Baptist and Methodist traditions, protesters adapted sacred hymns for secular protest use. Termed freedom songs, the music bound protesters together by shared spiritual associations with the music and by a communal performance experience. This study explores the adaptation process of the freedom song using “We Shall Overcome” as a case study. An examination of the traditions of black American church institutions and the musical and textual attributes of the adapted song genres clarifies the methods by which protesters transformed sacred hymns and songs.
