(4) K-3 After an introduction giving the anthem's history and its meaning for African Americans, the words to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" are matched with (unfortunately unlabeled) black-and-white photos of sharecroppers, freedom marchers, and other images from the African-American experience over the past century. A musical score of the melody rounds out this well-presented homage to the song.
