A Change Is Gonna ComeA Change Is Gonna Come

An illustrated version of the civil rights anthem by Sam Cooke.
The immortal lyrics of Sam Cooke’s inspiring civil rights anthem are among the most powerful in music history. Written as an ode to the struggles and joy of Black Americans living under the oppression of Jim Crow, “A Change Is Gonna Come” became a rallying cry for justice and equality when it was shared in 1964. Now, more than sixty years later, the fight for freedom continues, and these sweeping lyrics remain as important and soul stirring as ever.
