Many casual NFL fans were surprised to hear Grammy winner Alicia Keys singing the Black national anthem before the Super Bowl LV game.
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” has long been a staple at Black gatherings such as church events and social empowerment meetings. In fact, the lyrics, written by novelist and NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson, comprise the official song for the civil rights organization.
But Sunday’s previously recorded performance by Keys elicited mixed emotions from viewers. Some were overjoyed that the anthem that means so much to them has found a place in national professional sports. Others were incensed, calling it another example of divisiveness among the races. Some said they had no problem with the song but didn’t feel a sporting event was the appropriate venue.
Project Location: Ontario, Canada, and Texas
Empire Communities launched its Home Reimagined social media campaign to assist new buyers in finding homes that reflect their needs while inspiring the life they want to live.
To encourage engagement, the builder opted for an interactive and entertaining method: a quiz. Based on personality traits, values, and needs, the quiz matched customers with the features, designs, and layouts that best fit their lifestyles. Every quiz taker was also assigned a curated identity: Iron Chef, Future CEO, Comfort Lover, Family First, Holistic Homebody, or Humble Host.
The campaign included social media posts on Instagram and Twitter, as well as paid Facebook postings, for 12 weeks total, through Texas and Ontario, Canada, resulting in 30 million impressions, a couple thousand quiz takers, and 13,000 website visitors.

It’s an emoji, it’s a vegetable, and now it’s a government-funded comedy-drama that aims to educate young people about digital safety.
An enormous eggplant has mysteriously appeared on Hilltop High’s rugby field, only days away from the crucial game of the season. It’s New Zealand’s own mystery of the monolith, a bulbous beast made of suspense and papier-mache, and the school principal faces the challenge of her career. Who planted their massive aubergine on her turf, and why?
It’s enough to make Ohakune’s giant carrot blush, but there’s more to this six-part teen comedy-drama than meets the eye. The Eggplant is not just a lively deep dive into the perils of big vegetables, or a mystery about a purple emoji gone wrong. It’s also a government campaign to educate young people and their families about staying safe online, and it landed on TVNZ OnDemand and YouTube last month.
