The 2025 Fillmore Jazz Festival’s theme, “Lift Every Voice,” draws inspiration from the hymn often called the Black national anthem. Originally written as a poem in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson and set to music by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson, “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was first performed by schoolchildren in celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Over time, it became a rallying cry during the Civil Rights Movement and remains a powerful symbol of Black pride, perseverance, and hope.
