Music: Song

First performed in 1900, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is carried across generations in this moving portrayal of one song's inspirational influence in the African American community. Lyons ability to weave together so many stories in one cohesive unit is truly exemplary. Furthermore, to end on the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture is such a beautiful way to show the continuation of this profound song.
