"Dream" Anniversary

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, I Have Dream . To mark the anniversary, thousands of Americas have traveled to our nation's capital. 

At today's event,  some of the most stirring moments have been the speeches and songs. One song that was a part of each event was, Lift Every Voice and Sing.

 Here is a portion of the lyrics. 

“Lift every voice and sing, til earth and Heaven ring,

Ring with the harmonies of liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,

Let it resound loud as the rolling sea,

Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us

Sing a song full of hope that the present has bought us,

Facing the rising sun  of our new day begun

Let us march on until victory is won.”
James Weldon Johnson
