It\u2019s June 18th. Today, for Juneteenth, we look at the history of \u201cLift Every Voice and Sing,\u201d aka the Black National Anthem.
\n\nJody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the song\u2019s history and the various ways in which it\u2019s been presented as a song of resistance, militancy, and empowerment through the decades.
