Thoreau’s statement, "When I hear music, I feel invincible," applies to the oratory of Martin Luther King Jr. When people heard the rhythms and music of King’s preaching, the movement, and its goals, felt inevitable. Also applies to the power created in the Civil Rights Movement through song and collective singing, generating together the will to face repression in the struggle for community and justice.
