The Daily Mail: Democratic and Republican congressional leaders have an awkward kumbaya moment as they link arms to sing We Shall Overcome during civil rights tribute - (Fifty years of civil rights “progress”? Vast areas of America now crime-ridden bombed-out war zones where whites fear to tread; anti-white discrimination now required by law; a black president who only seems to make blacks angrier; ever-worsening black-on-white violent crime; biggest problem no longer anti-black discrimination but “white privilege”--the very existence of whites; fabulously wealthy blacks, from white fans, like Oprah Winfrey, looking forward to the death of “old white people,” ironically many would be liberal Oprah fans; renewed militant demands for “slavery reparations,” etc. This would be as if the elected officials of Pompeii were to join hands in mid-eruption and joyously sing the praises of Mt. Vesuvius.)

Democratic and Republican congressional leaders have an awkward kumbaya moment as they link arms to sing We Shall Overcome during civil rights tribute

Held hands and swayed together as We Shall Overcome was played

The famous song is an anthem from the Civil Rights movement 

Awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

They don't usually have much common ground but in a rare moment of unity lawmakers on Capitol Hill held hands and swayed together as the famous song from the Civil Rights movement We Shall Overcome was played.

Some of the lawmakers, which included House Speaker John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, looked slightly awkward as they held their arms across their bodies.

Congressional leaders commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act on Tuesday by posthumously bestowing the Congressional Gold Medal upon Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King, for their efforts in passing the landmark legislation. . . .
