Wouldn't this make a better National Anthem than that war song we have now? I think so (and I'm a "white" guy.)

For the record this song was not written specifically for African Americans. It was witten in 1900 as a poem by principle James Weldon Johnson in celebration of Abraham Lincolns birthday and recited by his students. It was later put to music and adopted by the NAACP as the Negro National Anthem. I prefer it as a poem. To me it's too long and complicated to be sung as a song. Every February African Americans are forced to sing it. Everyone stands there trying to mumble their way through it. .

This song always and will continue to bring tears to my eyes. I learned this song in grammar school and we would sing this song every single year during Black History Month until I went on to middle school. This is profound!
