Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Coretta Scott King Award, this stirring book celebrates the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing"--and how it inspired many generations of a family.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.In 1900, in Jacksonville, Florida, two brothers, one of them the principal of a segregated, all-black school, wrote the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" so his students could sing it for a tribute to Abraham Lincoln's birthday. From that moment on, the song has provided inspiration and solace for generations of Black families. Mothers and fathers passed it on to their children who sang it to their children and grandchildren. It has been sung during major moments of the Civil Rights Movement and at family gatherings and college graduations. Inspired by this song's enduring significance, Kelly Starling Lyons and Keith Mallett tell a story about the generations of families who gained hope and strength from the song's inspiring words.
