From that moment on, the song has provided inspiration and solace for generations of Black families. Mothers and fathers passed it on to their children who sang it to their children and grandchildren. Known as the Black National Anthem, it has been sung during major moments of the Civil Rights Movement and at family gatherings and college graduations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by this song's enduring significance, Kelly Starling Lyons and Keith Mallett tell a story about the generations of families who gained hope and strength from the song's inspiring words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--A CCBC Choice \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--An ALSC Notable Children's Book\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Nancy Paulsen Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374662451455,"sku":"9780525516095","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780525516095_s600x595.jpg?v=1775597439","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780525516095","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
