Purchase an autographed copy of Dr. Lewis' book, "My Ancestral Voices" on www.ebay.com. Dr. Lewis takes this opportunity afforded by the upcoming "Juneteenth" Celebration on June 19th to share her thoughts about the final achievement of Freedom that African Americans are seeking. She shares the words of the poem/song, "Lift Every Voice and Sing", now known as "The Negro National Anthem" to ensure that everyone pays attention to the words and their meaning. She contends that knowing the meaning of the words will ensure that people will understand the history of the African American struggle.
