I have read it has a long history. So in 1919 it was called the 'Negro Anthem' but the NAACP. Not sure they would still call it that.

That's what "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is.

The only time I have ever known that the song is sung is once a year in February.

This is what liberals will give us... we will get to sing songs and make PSAs, and they will let black folk harass white folk.

However - black folk will not get any REAL help from the Democrats on whom those who support them lean.

Nothing could be worse for society than giving everyone "their own lanes" by skin color and or heritage. Whoever the heck though this was a good idea?
