This is by far, the best rendition of the Black National Anthem.
I’ve shared this with my middle school students for years now. They get kinda quiet in the presence of this perfect, skillful and passionate version of one of the most important songs in the land. What a blessed recording. Please keep sharing the great song of hope.
Mrs. Davis my third grade history teacher had the entire class sing this in school every single day. She wanted us to have pride in ourselves and not forget our history.. I remember the words to this whole song because of her.. R.i.p Mrs. Davis she was a great teacher and you gentleman did a phenomenal job.
I've given it 1 year.... I'm pretty sure this is the best rendition of our anthem I have ever heard. Every time I come back I've been more persuaded, and I'm convinced at this point.

Okay... I've happily listened to June's Diary, since two people said I should. I actually listened to several different videos of them singing. While I think they're really gifted singers, their arrangements of the anthem don't compare. Chords, cadence, even doing this whole song... they are not even in the same ball park. Granted, these are two totally different singing groups, with completely different objectives...I'm not at all comparing or contrasting the groups themselves. Because honestly it's apples and oranges. But as far as Lift Every Voice goes, Committed has this in THE BAG. All the way.

I agree. June's Diary's version is beautiful but this one is spine tingling! While both arrangements are amazing, I prefer the cadence and chord choices this one makes. It doesn't hurt that I'm biased because I sing 2nd tenor down to bass and this version is more in my vocal wheelhouse.

"bombs bursting in air" is talking about our country's second war for independence from Great Britain, which happens to be a pretty big deal in American history. Like it or not, this country owes it's existence to the fact that Americans literally killed our enemies to defend it. Not everything is rainbows and unicorns, lady. And I think the Star Spangled Banner is a beautiful song about the struggle that our country went through to simply exist at the beginning.

Just recently found and listened. Teared up. One of the best renditions of the song I've heard in a long time
"Lift Every Voice and Sing" was performed for the first time by 500 school children in celebration of President Lincoln's Birthday on February 12, 1900 in Jacksonville, FL. The poem was set to music by Johnson's brother, John Rosamond Johnson, and soon adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) as its official song. Today “Lift Every Voice and Sing” is one of the most cherished songs of the African American Civil Rights Movement and is often referred to as the Black National Anthem.

Yeah and wheres the white one? Oh yeah that's racist. Jewish? Not mentioned but they've been opposed since they settled in israel. Nope black people were more oppressed. You people are brainwashed.

Great and beautiful. Thanks to our brothers and sister for paved the road for us immigrants.
Thank you for this beautiful rendition which inspired my music students to sit, listen, and learn as they realized that 5 good singers could sound like that!
Amazing what can be done with human voices in harmony.
Beautiful song, I would call this a hymn.

It IS a hymn. For whatever reason, it was decided to be the black National Anthem about 100 years ago.

It literally is. It's in a lot of hymnals.
I'm some years late but better late than never. Beautifully arranged and sung. This was shared on my facebook page in light of Juneteenth.
