Musical Interlude: I have to post this for Juneteenth...finding new versions is always a quest. It's a song that always impresses me and makes me feel reverent.

Musical Interlude: I just have to post this in honor of Juneteenth. This is a video recorded during an Independence Day celebration, but that only makes it doubly appropriate as far as I'm concerned.

""When I asked who knew the song ['Lift Every Voice and Sing'], both Black students in my class said they did, but only two of the 24 white students raised their hands. That gap has remained fairly consistent during the four years I have taught Johnson’s autobiography."
You can count me among those who had never heard *of* this song until I became exposed to Black community events in South Carolina. Such a beautiful anthem should be shared!

#Beyoncé didn’t sing ‘#Blacknationalanthem’ at an #NFL game; the claim is #satire
I wonder what the Venn diagram of the people who are upset there's a #BlackNationalAnthem and the people who know that the Star Spangled Banner is a pro-slavery song looks like.

MAGAts had a conniption fit as they witnessed the Super Bowl LVII pregame show include “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” sometimes called the #blacknationalanthem, alongside the national anthem and “America the Beautiful.” The song never even mentions race. And the song is not new to NFL games. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/13/black-national-anthem-super-bowl-republican-backlash/

Trump Supporters Lost It Over The #BlackNationalAnthem At Super Bowl

I don't agree with this Black National #Anthem display. It's a great song and it should be taught in schools. But having two national #anthems only brings division. #America is one nation with one national anthem. #Superbowl #blacknationalanthem
@velshi This song still summons tears. So, I was astonished when #BillMaher complained about the "Black National Anthem" being divisive. He apparently just heard about this song, unaware the title is *Lift Every Voice and Sing*, written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900, on the occasion of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The #BlackNationalAnthem is merely an affectionate name for it.
I hope Maher doesn't turn into one of those white folks who resent black people having anything. #BlackMastodon
"It's an epic lesson. It's a form of guidance to ensure that people feel a sense of common purpose," says Dr. Imani Perry of the #BlackNationalAnthem. "Over 100 years later, it's still being sung." #velshi #BlackHistoryMonth http://ow.ly/gkoi50MJZCz
