Rep. Clyburn wants to make 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' a national hymn

Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., wants the song known as the Black national anthem recognized as a national hymn.

Clyburn, the third-highest Democrat in the House and its highest-ranking Black member, plans to introduce a proposal to upgrade “Lift Every Voice and Sing” to equal standing with the national anthem as early as this week to bring the country together and heal with a song “everybody can identify with,” he tweeted.


He said the change would tell Black people, “you aren’t singing a separate national anthem, you are singing the country’s national hymn,” he told USA Today.
