Take a walk around the outside of the library building and read "Sing a Song," Kelly Starling Lyons's book about "Lift Every Voice." Starts near the Witherspoon Street entrance.
The book celebrates the song that's been called the Black National Anthem and how it inspired five generations of a family.
This StoryWalk is part of Princeton Community 2021 African American Read In events that focus on the poem by James Weldon Johnson.
Presented in partnership with the Princeton Public Schools.

Mellon Foundation, and the Emerson Collective.
