Last night #DLHUGHLEY who is guest hosting for #thedailyshow asked people in the street if they knew the words to the Black National Anthem. Neither black nor white knew a word. But I was lying in bed humming the tune and mouthing the words. When I was little, in the 1950s, my parents took me with them to NAACP meeting and every meeting opened with that song So here are the words. #NegroNationalAnthem #JamesWeldonJohnson #BlackHistoryMonth https://sos.sdes.ucf.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/62/2019/01/Lift20Every20Voice20and20Sing1.pdf

I'm rereading #ClintSmith's How The Word is Passed. He mentioned that #JamesWeldonJohnson wrote #LiftEveryVoiceandSing originally as a poem to celebrate the birthday of #AbrahamLincoln.
I have sung that song my entire life, in high school and #HBCUs, at graduations and awards ceremonies. And I did not know that.

Very much looking forward to the collection, especially Jonathan Green's illustrations. Word to publishers - I will buy pretty much any book that includes his artwork.
