The words to #lifteveryvoiceandsing are deeply inspirational and patriotic:

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening 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 till victory is won

#LiftEveryVoiceAndSing is 123 yrs old. The prayer of freedom was written BEFORE SSB was est. as our national anthem (by executive order in 1916 & officially by public law in 1931).

When you get mad about this hymn, you expose your ignorance. You got mad 123 yrs too late.

Y’all are mad at these lyrics? They are the soul of what’s virtuous about the US. Take several seats. And pick up a book; maybe enroll in AP African American History.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! #Blackmastodon #superbowl

Thank you, #GOP Town Committee in Coventry, CT for placing good-neighborliness above contention/confrontation, plus providing an example of very smart outeach to Latinx small business: One imagines that the area includes at least one African or African-American restaurant, where town or county committee could host an appropriate event in February! #LiftEveryVoiceandSing

I love reading. It's possible to pick up tidbits of information that would have escaped me.

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.
