About this event
Rev. Diana Davies
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” is #149 in our UU hymnal. It is also the African American National Anthem. It was first performed by Black students in segregated schools, during the time of Jim Crow. The artist Jon Batiste has said the hymn “connects us to the history of all … who have marched and fought and died for the freedoms we enjoy.” What does it mean for us, a mostly white UU congregation, to sing this hymn today?
