    On the news it said that the Red Skins is going to change their name and before games play the Black National Anthem.

    What is the anthem?

    BTW, can you watch videos?
    Here's an explanation of Lift Every Voice and Sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=EDrGpZljbQQ

    The song itself,
    The Spelman College Glee Club performs 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRF9FOPgLpw

    The lyrics are here, https://www.naacp.org/naacp-history-lift-evry-voice-and-sing/


    Bonus, Billie Holiday-Strange fruit- HD came up in my recommendations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Web007rzSOI

    Of course we could see having a black national anthem as part of what seems to be the ongoing effort to re-segregate society.

    I prefer something that is, if only slightly, more inclusive.
