Songs for The Movement: “Lift Every Voice And Sing”

The Songs for the Movement section of N.A.H. houses selected protest songs for social justice from the past and the present.

I’m trying to build a list here, and will update this category periodically, but feel free to share any suggestions you may have in the comments or via email.

Today’s entry in Songs for the Movement is “Lift Every Voice and Sing” written by James Weldon Johnson in 1900, as sung by Kim Weston in 1973.
