New York, NY The Isaacs Center richly celebrated Black History month with a two-hour virtual presentation last Friday that featured performances from an eclectic mix of seniors, community members, students and staff, as well as special appearances by elected officials.
The event kicked off with the singing of the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which was written as a poem in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson and set to music by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson in 1905 for the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.
