Outrage is erupting in the wake of the NFL’s announcement the so-called “black national anthem” will be featured at Super Bowl LVIII next month, in addition to America’s actual national anthem.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” will be performed by Andra Day, the Grammy-winning R&B singer, and will be played alongside “The Star-Bangled Banner.”
The “black national anthem” was sung at last year’s big game by Sheryl Lee Ralph, while Mary Mary performed it in 2022 in the wake of the George Floyd protests and the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020.

“The NFL has announced that the so-called ‘Black National Anthem’ will be performed at the Super Bowl,” said Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA on X.”Of course, in reality, the black national anthem is performed at every Super Bowl, because The Star-Spangled Banner is the anthem of ALL Americans. The effort to create a ‘black national anthem,’ and a ‘black Independence Day’ in Juneteenth, is part of a wider project to divide Americans up by race.
