Most songs are spirituals that were adapted to anthemic status during the antebellum slave liberation movement, and again during the civil rights movement in the 1950s & 60s. Such songs include "I Shall Not Be Moved" and "This Little Light of Mine". More notable songs include, "We Shall Overcome," which is derived from a hymn, "I'll Overcome Some Day," by Charles Albert Tindley, Bob Dylan's "Blowin' In The Wind" and "Going Down to Mississippi" by Phil Ochs.

Civil Rights anthems is a relational concept to protest song, but one that is specifically linked to the African-American Civil Rights Movement. The songs were often sung during protests or marches related to the movement
