      Indeed. Double-ditto HBCU grad 2X over and I relish every single second of it. The song reunites US, not "them," w/ our past despairs, obstacles, negativity, evil human beings who are now unalived (thankfully :) ), and futures filled with hope and overcoming the insidious evil man-made obstacles. May we continue to ascend in this life, ignoring the irrelevant and unimportant "them" as we fight this new fight of life.

      @@rakeeshajones6832 I grew up singing it every morning in my elementary school in Seattle, I think I started school in 1980. We had a Double Dutch team, steppers, and majorettes. It's nothing like that now. My auntie just sold the house I grew up in back in 2018 cause the neighborhood ain't ours anymore. It was uncomfortable being there. I also attended a HBCU, and my kids know this song. I sang it to then when they were babies. They're all grown now, and they better sing it to my future grandbabies if I'm not here to do it.

    Lift Every Voice and Sing
    It was written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900.
    ❤Lyrics to Lift Every voice and sing❤
    Lift every voice and sing
    'Til earth and heaven ring,
    Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
    Let our rejoicing rise
    High as the list'ning skies,
    Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
    Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
    Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
    Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
    Let us march on 'til victory is won.
    Stony the road we trod,
    Bitter the chastening rod,
    Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
    Yet with a steady beat,
    Have not our weary feet
    Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
    We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
    We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
    Out from the gloomy past,
    'Til now we stand at last
    Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
    God of our weary years,
    God of our silent tears,
    Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
    Thou who has by Thy might
    Led us into the light,
    Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
    Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
    our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
    Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
    May we forever stand,
    True to our God,
    True to our native land.

      When I grew up in Brooklyn , New York in the 70’s we were sang the black national anthem! Everything in the community was about the culture and Afrocentric back then! Black history wasn’t just learned in one month, but year round! My parents displayed African art pieces and pictures. My father sold Afrocentric greeting cards in his stores and the books in our home was written about blacks, poetry, art, history. I wish that the children were taught about their ancestors and achievements today! They would have pride like we had back then! Thanks for sharing the lyrics and history of this great song, it brought back so many sweet memories from my childhood! God bless!

      @kitty-gf2wd it's the Black National Anthem. It was written as a poem in honor of Abraham Lincoln in 1899. I forgot the year that the poem was turned into a song, but the NAACP adopted it as the Black National Anthem in 1919. The NFL has had it performed every year since 2020, and some presidents have had it performed at their inaugurations. The NFL started including it as a representation of the different cultures and traditions of our country. It's called Lift Ev'ry Voice. I was born in 1976, and we sang it in school after the official National Anthem because, at that time, although schools were officially desegrated, neighborhoods were not in most cities. So I grew up in a predominantly Black area in Seattle, I knew of one white family in our area until I was an adult, so the song as well as the history behind it and what it meant to our people was still being taught.

      Actually, yes. Read the third verse of the national anthem, Francis Scott Key himself said that black people seeking freedom by working with the British should beware. In other words, Francis Scott Key, when he wrote that poem that the song was based on, was a staunch defender of slavery. In fact lift every voice and sing was created at least 30 years before the Star-Spangled banner actually became the national anthem. So based on that history, and what Francis Scott Key himself said, yes the words to the national anthem was created for white people at a time when blacks were still slaves.

    Often referred to as "The Black National Anthem," Lift Every Voice and Sing was a hymn written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954), composed the music for the lyrics. A choir of 500 schoolchildren at the segregated Stanton School, where James Weldon Johnson was principal, first performed the song in public in Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
    At the turn of the 20th century, Johnson's lyrics eloquently captured the solemn yet hopeful appeal for the liberty of Black Americans. Set against the religious invocation of God and the promise of freedom, the song was later adopted by NAACP and prominently used as a rallying cry during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
    From NAACP website.
    I would bet that those who didn't like this song know not one thing about its history.

      @roxanne5766 one correction, the title of the song is Lift Ev'ry Voice. The NAACP adopted it in 1919. It was still being taught in schools when I was a child. I was born in 1976 in Seattle, my family had migrated from Texas in 1965. Redlining and housing exclusion laws still existed at the time so neighborhoods were segregated. The neighborhood schools were heavily influenced by the traditions of the Black south as that was where most everyone had come from. We sang the US national Anthem followed by Lift Ev'ry Voice at the beginning of assemblies after we said the pledge of allegiance. There was always a big parade on Juneteenth too. I was shocked when I was older and moved to Portland, Oregon and no one heard of it.

    Lift Every Voice and Sing Lyrics
    Lift every voice and sing,
    'Til earth and heaven ring,
    Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
    Let our rejoicing rise
    High as the list'ning skies,
    Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
    Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
    Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
    Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
    Let us march on 'til victory is won.
    Stony the road we trod,
    Bitter the chastening rod,
    Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
    Yet with a steady beat,
    Have not our weary feet
    Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
    We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
    We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
    Out from the gloomy past,
    'Til now we stand at last
    Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
    God of our weary years,
    God of our silent tears,
    Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
    Thou who has by Thy might
    Led us into the light,
    Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
    Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
    our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
    Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
    May we forever stand,
    True to our God,
    True to our native land.

    Ill never acknowledge this as any kind of "national anthem ". We've got a national anthem and plenty of white and black folk died to make sure it could be sung.
