I used to attend each year’s university honoring of Martin Luther King Day including speeches, gospel songs, poetry and educational sessions in breakout classrooms.

I first the Black National Anthem before a US Representative and council member were introduced.

Note:
Often referred to as “The Black National Anthem,” Lift Every Voice and Sing was a hymn written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954), composed the music for the lyrics.
