how many of y'all actually know the black national anthem?

[Cadillac]

learned about it in history class in junior high. But we skimmed over it in a brief manner

cant memorize it off the top. I imagine people in the south, dmv, and where theres more black people they were more exposed to it on a daily so they can

Where did y'all go to school where u had to learn it??


I grew up on military bases so you know it was never mentioned in my school's.

We sang it at my elementary school in Detroit, only the first verse though. Occasionally at church, but the first verse is the only one I still have memorized.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Something about rising sun till victory is won?

I know the first verse to lift every voice and sing. My elementary school had a lot of black teachers and they ingrained this song in our heads.
