The Tuskegee University Golden Voices Concert Choir 2017 Spring Tour. "Lift Every Voice and Sing' performed at the James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg, VA on March
Can you believe there are people on Fox News trying to attack this beautiful song! If the NFL chooses to play this at Ball games I am all for it this song is amazing!
I don't know why people are always alarmed by a small audience. That audience wanted to be there. That audience wanted to hear what the singers and the music had to say. If one life was sparked by that concert, then thanks be to God!
As a Tuskegee graduate, we sang this song before every convocation with an uplifted right fist. Of, course we sang it the traditional way. This song has always been in the e political sphere as a protest anthem for Black Americans. Long live Mother Tuskegee.
I am moved to tears by the wonderful contributions to the celebration of Juneteenth with the Black National Anthem "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Thank you all. Jesus M.
This would be/have been a great song/anthem for the protesters to sing along the marches-especially standing at Lafayette Square! Remember "We Shall Overcome," "We Are The World," "Get Up, Stand Up," Legend's "Glory," and some sang recently, "Lean On Me"? A unifying anthem that travels around the world is needed. All past effective protests in history have had them, as music finds a special place in the hearts and minds of people. Churches, universities, coaches, the military, governments, etc., use simple repeating anthems/songs to unify over and over and over again until the song becomes a powerful motivating force for action and gives energy for the protest to last. We need a song that we sing when rising in the morning and sing in our dreams and doesn't let us forget the inequities and cruelty in our society and beyond.
Not gonna throw any shade, but one word: Aeolians. So sorry!! I love you, TU for all you did for the culture, but... OU’s got this arrangement, and anyone else who tries it is always compared to them.❤️
Do you propose that they smile while saying “God of our weary years, God of our silent tears”? Or, in your opinion, would it be more apropos to smile while singing “We have come, oh we have come over a way that with tears has been watered. Oh we have come treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered”. It is an anthem of hope, not a happy go lucky folk song.
@@samuelrosslee408what are you talking about??? I know who arranged it, I never asked. That has nothing to do with my statement, not question. I said "that's the same way we sang it in my high school". That means we followed the same arrangement

What a joyful, emotional performance and arrangement! Thank you for making this available to so many who couldn't be there in person!!!
What a shame they had such a tiny audience. They performed beautifully.

I toured with my college choir way back when. They probably had nine other concerts, so many more people got to enjoy them!

Rest in peace Booker T Washington and James Weldon Johnsom.
I love this.
The harmony when they sang “...led us into the night...”. My God. Beautiful. Gave me goosebumps.

This is famous song long associated with the struggle of Blacks in America. I hope it is sung.

Love the Aeolian as well as The Jason Ferdinand Singers!
Please fix the captions, they in no way match the lyrics. Thank you.
The choir sounds excellent. The singers needed to show more facial expressions (e.g. smiles).

Gotta get my kids into an HBCU cause their highschool has whitewashed them to death.
This is beautiful! However, We are One Nation under God. Only one National Anthem is needed. And we already have one.
You realize the American national anthem is set to a drinking song?
The wrong one. We need one that respects every American as one nation under GOD.
Maybe you should take a look at the third verse of that one about killing slaves....not my anthem.
He ducked it up. It's not to be an opera......
That's the arrangement. Exactly how we sang it in high school. That's how this version is supposed to be sang.
This arrangement was written by Dr. Roland Carter. It says as much in the beginning of the video.

K-At Sorry. My comment was meant for someone else here. I wrote it in the wrong place. My Bad.
They sound great but I don't like the arrangement.
Beautiful!
