"Lift Every Voice and Sing" was originally written as a poem in the late 19th century by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson, later put the words to music and in 1919 the NAACP adopted it as its official song. Following the 2020 protests against police brutality in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" began following the national anthem during NFL pre-game ceremonies.
