'This doesn't sound like unity': Fury at PBS's 'woke and divisive' decision to have Vanessa Williams sing the 'Black National Anthem' at Capitol Fourth Celebration to mark Juneteenth being made a Federal holiday as well
The singer and actress will perform the song 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' while hosting PBS's 41st 'A Capitol Fourth' annual celebration, which airs Sunday
The song was first written as a poem in 1900 by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson and has long held the nickname as the 'Black National Anthem'
