'LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING'

Black History Month
01:54

Lift Every Voice and Sing, written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and
later set to music by his brother, John Rosamond Johnson, was first sung in
Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Through
the years, it became a prominent part of gatherings in the Black community and a
rallying cry during the Civil Rights Movement. Often referred to as the Black
national anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing remains an ever-present hymn within
Black American social, political, and spiritual events today.
