As the pregame ceremonies began, all eyes were on Beyoncé. Known for her powerful vocals and equally powerful messages, fans were expecting a memorable performance. However, instead of the familiar strains of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the audience heard the opening notes of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” often referred to as the “Black National Anthem.”
Written in the early 20th century during a period of significant racial tension, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” has been a beacon of hope and resilience for the Black community. Its inclusion in recent events, especially in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, is seen by many as a nod to the ongoing fight for racial equality.
