Moving Melody

“Lift Every Voice And Sing” is a popular song for Black History Month. Try arranging a new take on this old favorite. Divide your class into groups. Ask each group to add something unique to the song, such as interpretive dance, unusual instruments, costumes, etc. Hand out “Tune In To Black History” Stickers-On-A-Roll on the day of the performances. Every student at Northwestern Middle School in Jacksonville, Florida, learned “Lift Every Voice And Sing”. They sang it at the end of their “Celebrating A Rich Heritage” program. The school also utilized “Negro National Anthem” Bookmarks, which have the lyrics on the back.
