I am an author of Christian Romance novels. My debut novel, “Ruth’s Awakening: A Love Story is available on Amazon and Kindle. I love living, learning and laughing. I would rather have a great experience than a new purse or shoes. Let’s grow in Christ together.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

I attended a predominantly African American elementary school in the heart of the ‘hood. In the morning we would say the Pledge of Allegiance and at assemblies we would sing the National Anthem and the "Negro National Anthem" Lift Every Voice and Sing.

I came across this rendition at Sojourner’s Place it is too cute. So, in the spirit of multi-culturalism and unity take a listen:

    TZO- Much obliged for visiting Sojourner’s Place! I agree that this rendition of the Negro National Athem is really inspirational and probably what JWJ envisioned when he wrote it.
