Oh my word, oh my word, oh my word. There are no words, watching from London, and this is what is missing from your country. Unity, democracy, and patriotism with a bit of passion thrown in. Beautiful!❤
I'd like to give a shout out not just to the kids in the choir, who were terrific, but to their amazing director. I've sung in a lot of choirs, and it's so wonderful to have a director with that level of enthusiasm. It really lifts up the spirits of the choir members and improves their performance as a result.
How moving to see these young black kids singing with all their hearts for America despite its horrible history of slavery and Jim Crow. There could be no greater contrast with the MAGA message of repression and hate.
@@fr57ujf That's the beauty of the song. Those that lived and fought through slavery and Jim crow are also the Brave they so passionately sing about. 🇺🇸
@@JuliaJulia007 I remember starting the school day with reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. It was a beautiful thing. Do the schools still do that? If not....they should.
@@JC-tp5lz They really shouldn't. See West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943). At any rate, it's just wrong to force children to pledge allegiance to something they can't yet fully understand.
@@BurkBernard Would you rather they bow to a statue of Putin or Kim Jon Un every morning?! I can think of a lot worse things for children to do than Pledge their Allegiance to the "home of the free, and the land of the brave"!
@@elizabetholiviaclark Elizabeth, look at the "date" of that antiquated case...1943! That's exactly why we're in the mess we are in today, with a corrupt SC and a convicted felon and insurrectionist, running for president! We have never updated these old, antiquated laws and precedents!
I think something got in my eyes and the tears are trying to wash it out. So full of pride for this choir!!! Would love to see these children perform at President Kamala's inauguration.
This made me cry, and not just because it was a beautiful performance. It made me cry because we are waking up to the heaps of narcissistic abuse that this country has had to take from within its Congressional chambers, let alone the Oval Office. We've seen the ugliness that is Christo-fascism's adherents attempting to dismantle our Constitution and government and replace it with something far too akin to Hitler and Mussolini's doings, to say nothing of a modern equivalent in Kim Jong-Un. This is us, taking back our power after realizing it is being stolen from us, bit by bit. And we are saying "Oh, hell no!" When decent Republicans are actually lining up to join us Democrats to preserve our country's dignity, you know just how dastardly and sinister this Project 2025 is. And these kids singing our national anthem is poignant as heck, because as cheesy as it might sound to others, we need to vote for their future.
When I was in high school, I traveled with a patriotic & spiritual singing group across America, performing in VA hospitals & nursing homes. I sang our National Anthem several times per week, but I have never heard a better & more moving performance than these young people gave. That was amazingly beautiful! Thank you so much for that! 🩵🗽🎆🇺🇸🩵 Harris Walz 2024!
This overwhelmed me! What a beautiful blessing to have this love of country on full display. Congratulations to DNC for last night’s program! Vote Blue in 24!!!!
How many times have we been at an event, a baseball game, a concert, another event, where the Star Spangled Banner has been played and it is just a perfunctory delay before the real entertainment starts....I must admit I have. But in hearing these marvelous young people sing I was deeply stirred and the values of democracy and sacrifice flooded me. There have been great renditions of the anthem, but none equal to the call inspired by these young singers.
OMG! What a perfect and joyful way to start this beautiful new chapter for our country. 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙 I've saved this stream so I can feel the joy and pride over and over. 😁 Thank you!
Gorgeous and moving. Thank you for the beauty of young, proud voices bringing their passion for for music while embodying the hope we know will be fulfilled by their promise of a brighter future. Made my heart smile.
Wow that was absolutely amazing, these children have voices like angels God loves them, the love and the strength from these children should show the whole world how much children love their country even after all the bad history they still love their home and their country, I'm not an American I'm an Australian and I even got goosebump😮s from their beautiful performance

She doesn't have to save the world. That weight doesn't need to be placed on her shoulders.
@@GrantWitham Thank you Canada. Your support means the world to us.
I was teary eyed too
Oh my word, oh my word, oh my word. There are no words, watching from London, and this is what is missing from your country. Unity, democracy, and patriotism with a bit of passion thrown in. Beautiful!❤
