Black Anthems

In honor of black history month, here’s a collection of anthems that made us feel proud, and made us feel like making the world a better place!


10. Lift Every Voice and Sing

Let’s start with the obvious:


9. A Change Is Gonna Come

Then this one will actually make you cry:


8. Dancing in the Streets

7. We’re a Winner

Curtis Mayfield wrote many anthems, but it’s hard to get more positive than this one:

3. You Must Learn

Who packed more educational information into song than this one?:


2. Fight The Power

Soundtrack for a revolution:


1. Us

Underrated masterpiece…who critiqued our current plight better than this song?:
