LIFT EVERY VOICE & SING
ADOPTED AS THE NEGRO NATIONAL ANTHEM BY THE NAACP IN 1919.
ANTHEM
An anthem is a song of praise and honor that is used as a celebration for a specific group of people.
DO YOU KNOW THE WORDS TO THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM?
Lift Every Voice
and Sing
LET’S EXAMINE IT
SING ALONG !!! Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heav'n ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;Let our rejoicing rise, high as the list’ning skies,Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.Sing a song full of the faiththat the dark past has taught us,Sing a song full of the hopethat the present has brought us;Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,Let us march on till victory is won.
????????????????? WHY DO BLACKS
FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE THEIR OWN ANTHEM ?
AREN’T WE ALL AMERICANS?
STAR SPANGLED BANNER WRITTEN IN 1812,
WHEN SLAVERY WAS STILL GOING ON.
SONG DOESN’T REFLECT WHAT BLACKS WENT THROUGH.
DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM ?
The Star
Spangled
Banner
Francis Scott Key
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early lightWhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
