The twin acts of singing and fighting for freedom have been
inseparable in African American history. May We Forever Stand tells
an essential part of that story. With lyrics penned by James Weldon
Johnson and music composed by his brother Rosamond, "Lift Every
Voice and Sing" was embraced almost immediately as an anthem that
captured the story and the aspirations of black Americans. Since
the song's creation, it has been adopted by the NAACP and performed
by countless artists in times of both crisis and celebration,
cementing its place in African American life up through the present
day. In this rich, poignant, and readable work, Imani Perry tells
the story of the Black National Anthem as it traveled from South to
North, from civil rights to black power, and from countless family
reunions to Carnegie Hall and the Oval Office. Drawing on a wide
array of sources, Perry uses "Lift Every Voice and Sing" as a
window on the powerful ways African Americans have used music and
culture to organize, mourn, challenge, and celebrate for more than
a century.
