House Majority Whip James Clyburn says he will introduce a plan to name the “black national anthem” as the official hymn of the United States in order to show unity.
“To make it a national hymn, I think, would be an act of bringing the country together,” the South Carolina Democrat
said this week. “It would say to people, ‘You aren’t singing a separate national anthem. You are singing the country’s national hymn.
Clyburn added that the gesture would be an “act of healing” that “everybody can identify with.”
The anthem, known as “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, has become increasingly popular among social justice activists following the death of George Floyd while in police custody last summer.

Colorado’s newest congress member is off to a rocky start.
Less than a week after being sworn in, freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing calls for her resignation or expulsion from Congress over tweets she sent on the day of the Capitol riot.
Boebert tweeted that members were locked in the House chamber and then, a minute later, that Speaker Nancy Pelosi “has been removed from the chambers.” Earlier in the day, she tweeted “Today is 1776,” which her critics view as a call for armed revolution.
