Five hundred schoolchildren first performed the song "Lift Every Voice and Sing" in 1900 to celebrate President Lincoln's birthday. Scholars listen to the historic song and discuss the lyrics with partners. They continue preparing notes for a Socratic seminar about connections between song lyrics and Carlotta Walls LaNier's memoir, A Mighty Long Way.
