Last night, the Friends of the Brentwood Library held a 120th anniversary celebration of James Weldon Johnsons' anthem, "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing."
Marsha Phelts, who was a Jacksonville Public Library librarian and author of several books about American Beach, served as the guest moderator. Other panelists included Dr. Stephen C. Wright and Terrence Patterson; both speaking about the theme of "How Far We Have Come and How We Must Continue To Continue."
Special thanks to the Brentwood Elementary School Chorus for their wonderful rendition of James Weldon Johnsons' anthem. #ILoveJax #BlackHistoryMonth
