A news report of Rene Marie's controversial performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing”/“The Star-Spangled Banner.” One commentator is male, the other, female. The male news reporter describes the audience's response to Rene Marie's performance as “tepid applause.” The video features an image of the song sheet, onto which various images of Marie's performance, the singer's album covers, and images from the Civil Rights Movement and U.S. history (images of Klan members in robes, for example) are projected. It also features photos of Marcus Garvey in UNIA regalia, a photo of Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali (Malcolm X's three daughters are pictured, with the youngest sitting on Ali's lap). The video ends with an image of Barack Obama, superimposed on the Pan African Flag, segueing into an image of Johnson, with the lyrics of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
