#BlackHistory337 is about the time between Black History Months, when many people including some Black people don't make an effort to emphasize Black History. A way to cover the rest of the year, the remaining 337 days between each 28.

Juneteenth represents the first major event for Black people in the USA. The reason it isn't independence day or the colonies or states is because during all those times Black people were enslaved to Whites. Whites enslaved Blacks in the lands that became the USA and during the USA itself, as a law of the land, from 1492 to 1865. So for Black people in the U.S.A. the birth of the USA didn't change the condition of Black people. Most of the Black people who fought for the independence of the colonies from the english empire were enslaved to whites in the usa after said independence. But, the end of the War Between The States, commonly called The Civil War , did represent a true change for Black people as legal enslavement, which was legal in the english colonies or the usa itself, became illegal for the first time.

Lift Every Voice And Sing's lyrics was written by James Weldon Johnson while the musical accompaniment was made by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson in 1905.

Lift every voice and sing,
'Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on 'til victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come, over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
'Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land
