Marquette University Gospel Choir honors and celebrates Black History Month
Marquette Gospel Choir: "Lift Every Voice and Sing"
As we recognize Black History Month, we cannot forget to mention the song, now widely known as the black national anthem. Written and composed in the early 20th century, the song is a symbol of hope and promise for Black Americans. With that, we now welcome the Marquette Gospel Choir as they perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
MILWAUKEE - The Marquette University Gospel Choir welcomes students of all races and faith traditions who seek to explore and enhance their spirituality through Gospel music and praise.
According to the Marquette Campus Ministry, the choir sings contemporary Gospel as well as spiritual songs in the Gospel tradition.
