Drawing - Ink On Sheet Music
Description
My original drawing was done with ink on an original piece of vintage sheet music - "Lift Every Voice & Sing"* a/k/a "Negro National Anthem" or "Black National Anthem," written in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson. In 1919, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) dubbed it "the Negro national hymn" for its power in voicing a cry for liberation and affirmation for African-American people.
