This photo essay was prepared for the Princeton community African American Read In (AARI). The video montage features images curated by W.E.B. DuBois for the 1900 World Fair at Paris and a piano rendition of the 1896/1900 hymn "Lift Ev'ry Voice" by James Weldon and John Rosamond Johnson. The AARI2021 celebrates Lift Ev'ry Voice as a poem and anthem as relevant in 2021 as it was in 1900. We are pairing the poem with the children's book Sing A Song by Kelly Starling Lyons (Keith Wallett, Illustrator). Music featured in this video is available online through J.W. Pepper. The original hymn is in the public domain. Lyrics by James Weldon Johnson (1896), score by John Rosamond Johnson (1900). David Winkler published the sheet music used for this piano performance. All images used in this photoessay were taken from a collection of materials compiled by W.E.B. DuBois for the 1900 World Fair in Paris (African American Photographs Assembled for 1900 Paris Exposition) available online through the Library of Congress at https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/anedub/dubois.html.

Opening class Zoom meetings is a serious thing. As the one Black teacher (like the one Black friend) that many of my students have, I carry the responsibility of truth and reason. The work of #SocialJusticeEducation belongs to every educator regardless of content discipline. Developing empathy is nothing without holding students responsible for their selfish tendencies toward boot-strapped merit or over-valuation. Hair undone, #BlackLoveMatters tee shirt on, I sit at the table and ask students to accept the invitation to be better.
