Lift Every Voice and Sing

Well with the Super Bowl dust up over the Black National Anthem it felt appropriate to ask chatGPT. I will note that at my nine-year old daughter's school in Brooklyn they always sing the Black National Anthem so she knows it.

Me: Write a scene with an African American father explaining the history an importance of the Black National Anthem to his daughter

ChatGPT:

African American Father: Hey there, baby girl. You know, I was thinking we could talk about something important today. Do you know what the Black National Anthem is?

Daughter: No, Daddy. What is it?

African American Father: Well, it's a song called "Lift Every Voice and Sing." It was written by James Weldon Johnson and his brother John Rosamond Johnson, two African American brothers, back in 1900. It was first performed as a poem to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday and became a song in the 1920s.

Daughter: Why is it important?

African American Father: Well, for starters, it's a celebration of our culture and heritage. It's a way for us to honor our ancestors and the sacrifices they made for us. It's also a way for us to show our pride in being African American and to remember the struggles and challenges we've faced as a community.

Daughter: That sounds cool, Daddy.

African American Father: It is, baby girl. But it's also important for us to understand the history behind the song and the message it conveys. It was written at a time when African Americans were fighting for their rights and facing a lot of discrimination and oppression. The lyrics talk about overcoming obstacles and rising up, even in the face of adversity.

Daughter: Wow, I never knew that.

African American Father: Yeah, and that's why it's so important for us to learn about and remember our history. We need to understand where we've come from and what our ancestors went through so that we can appreciate all that we have today and continue to fight for our rights and equality.

Daughter: I understand, Daddy. Can we sing it together?

African American Father: Of course, baby girl. Let's sing it loud and proud. [Father and daughter sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing."]

Me: What are the lyrics to Lift Every Voice and Sing?

ChatGPT:

Here are the lyrics to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" also known as the Black National Anthem:

Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?

We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.

I wish this song was not associated the way it is.

I wish this song was not associated the way it is. It is a beautiful song that talks about my Lord and the final verse as a believer I relate with. Originally written by James Weldon Johnson for a presentation in celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. This was originally performed in Jacksonville, Florida, by children.

Summer 1995, while attending Grambling State University, I attended a campus festival with friends.

That was my first time hearing of "Juneteenth" and of its significance in American history and in my life as an African-American.

*** When was the first time you heard of Juneteenth? Who introduced you to this overlooked and hidden part of American history and African-American history? ***

#Repost @dolls_in_the_closet with @get_repost ・・・ Happy MLK day! People tend to forget that MLK was seen by many as a dangerous threat, and it's only years later that mainstream society celebrates a heavily whitewashed version of his contributions to civil rights history. Today I honor the people continuing MLK's fight through BLM and defunding the police. #agig #altagig #blackdollsmatter #blackdolls #melodyellison #gabrielamcbride #americangirlcollector #americangirldoll #americangirlbrand #joy2everygirl #blackgirlmagic #blackdollsofinstagram #lifteveryvoiceandsing https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNdQoWJ2wy/?igshid=zyhlln3te2vi
