Lift Every Voice And Sing (1900) [Juneteenth Archive Episode]
Today we're reprising an episode we did for Juneteenth last year, as we get ready for this year's holiday!
It’s June 18th. Today, for Juneteenth, we look at the history of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” aka the Black National Anthem.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the song’s history and the various ways in which it’s been presented as a song of resistance, militancy, and empowerment through the decades.
