Tired of the media-driven, negative stereotypes that shape the dangerous narrative surrounding young Black men.
Tired of overlooking the purposeful or passive suppression of talented Black professionals in Corporate America.
Tired of explaining why I like to spend time with Black people, while White people are never asked to explain why they like spending time with people that look like them.
We are a nation with vast resources of money and intelligence, and this Pandemic of Racism can be cured, but Black people alone can not put an end to this virus.
My heart is warmed to see so many of the protesters across this country and around the world to be a full mix of young White, Black, yellow, and brown people.
Lift Every Voice and Sing
The Black National Anthem (1900)
Words: James Weldon Johnson
Music: John Rosamond Johnson
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 faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory 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 star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who has 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.
Lift Every Voice and Sing (The Black National Anthem)
