About LIFT EVERY VOICE: 

Presenting interviews with more than fifty members of the oldest generation of Black Americans, including civil rights activists, hometown heroes, celebrities and many others, this testament to the strength and stories behind these individuals reveals their lives, experiences, and wisdom.

The book includes a foreword by Oprah Winfrey and an introduction by Nikole Hannah-Jones. It was designed by Mike Nicholls, an award-winning Black visual artist; interviews were conducted by a brilliant team of rising Black journalists, many from historically Black colleges and universities; portraits were shot by a talented group of next generation Black photographers.

For so long, too many stories that reveal what it means and feels like to be Black in America have been overlooked outside Black communities. After these long years of racial reckonings and nascent awakenings, Lift Every Voice presents interviews with the oldest generation of Black Americans about their lives, their experiences, and the wisdom that can carry all of us to a better future. Lift Every Voice is named after the James Weldon Johnson poem and hymn "Lift Every Voice and Sing," which is often referred to as the "Black national anthem." This keepsake book is both a testament to the strength of the stories behind them and a triumphant beginning for a new generation of journalists.
