    It brings 😢 tears to my eyes. I 💘 the Words it speak volume to our 💕 hearts. It is for those who know what love is about. When we can forgive in spite of the cruelty done.

    I grew up singing this! It's a huge part of me. We sang this truly important song every single day before classes would start during our morning announcements. The entire student body in every classroom would be standing up giving honor and praise to those who came before us.
    Although we were taught what this song meant to so many, it wasn't until I was much older that I understood the gravity, the intensity, the strength, the valor, the courage and impactful meaning this song represents.
    And now in 2021, I stand once again in solidarity with my spiritual brothers and sisters - may God bless every single soul reading this message.

      If you are truely a descendant from slaves, i am truely sorry for your ancestors. NOT any of my ancestors have ever owned slaves. There for, i feel no guilt of what went on then. That is in the past. I know if i lived back then, my best friends would have been slaves. I am drawn to the underdogs. I, to this day still, stand up for "anyone" being knocked down! Whether white/colored, rich/poor, good/bad, saved/nonChristian... i dont care. I care for the one who is being beaten apon. I will be your friend, but i will not stay standing by someone who seeks revenge. Nor will i enable them either. I am a true friend. A firm believer in tough love. I have held this close to my heart and have had to do this with my children, best friends, and neighbors. Funny thing is, when they got over the hurt feelings, they ALL can back and THANKED me. You will too, hopefully. I mean for the BEST for EVERYONE! 🙏🙏😇

      @@jasminemcinnis3400 we are being played. Divide and conquer. If there is unrest in our great country, we are busy being sidetracked. That is why all of this. This is ONE NATION, UNDER GOD. If you are truely unhappy, then go where you will be happy. If you have no LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY, then go where you will feel you belong. Why make yourself miserable. There is NOTHING tieing you here. Ppl move ALL THE TIME. It is no big deal nowadays. If you feel you are not part of this country... do something about it. But making your own anthem...? That is not heing part of our great nation. That is just widening the divide which will make the democrats HAPPY. Just saying... your live is as YOU make it. Hope you STAY and JOIN THIS GREAT NATION. We need good ppl to win back OUR RIGHTS! EVERYONES! dont widen the divide. You will NEVER be apart of this nation if you do. Not being mean, just look to see in the future... what harmony will strife bring? NONE...🤔🤔😟😟😞😞

      Wow...why don't YOU leave, you thinly veiled White Nationalist? Your hate has no place in today's America.
      And don't bother with excuses or attempts to rationalize and mitigate what you just said. You need to apologize or get out.
      You basically told people to "go back to Africa!"
      How. Dare. You.
