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.

Now the Black National Anthem has become the National Black Liberation Theology anthem where Black Communism is pushed and white people are to be eradicated and their “stuff” taken away. The anthem may have started with honarable goals, but now it is a black-communist anthem.
