The NFL has confirmed that the national black anthem will be carried out as planned before the Super Bowl this weekend in New Orleans.
'Lift Every Voice and Sing' is traditionally sung during the festivities prior to the game in the Great NFL game, but has caused a great controversy in recent years.
In the Super Bowl LVII in 2023, the republican politician and the former loyalist of Donald Trump, Kari Lake, was news when he refused to defend the black anthem.
In social networks after the game, she wrote: “I am here for the national anthem.”
Despite more reaction in 2024, the NFL has confirmed that the song will be sung before Kansas City chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
This year, the anthem will be played by the winning artist of the Grammy Ledisi award shortly before Jon Batiste performs the national anthem.

Andra Day made 'Levanting Every Voice and Sing' at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas last season
'Lift Every Voice and Sing' was originally written in 1899 by James Weldon Johnson, and a poem was first before it became a song.
In the Super Bowl last year, Andra Day interpreted the song, and she was also received by a considerable reaction from the Maga supporters and the Republicans.
The representative of Florida, Matt Gaetz (R), tweeted an exchange he had with his wife saying that he would not be seeing the program because, “they are desecrating the national anthem of the United States by interpreting something called” Black National Anthem. “
The conservative commentator Megyn Kelly wrote: 'The so -called Black National Anthem does not belong to the Super Bowl. We already have a national anthem and includes everyone.
Meanwhile, others supported Day's performance, with the representative of New York, Ritchie Torres, a Democrat, writing: 'The National National Anthem – “Raises each voice and sings” – has been part of the history of our nation since beginning of the twentieth century. The erase of African -American history as an American history is a form of racism that extends deeply in the extreme right.
There has also been controversy in recent days on the American traditional national anthem: the statistics banner.
On Saturday night, the Canadian hockey fans of the Ottawa senators booed the anthem, just a few hours after Donald Trump hit Canada with tariffs.
The boos and the Jeers were heard throughout the interpretation made by the singer sent in Ottawa in an exhausted sand with almost 20,000 spectators.

It occurred after President Trump ordered 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10% of China's assets from Tuesday, which caused important fears of commercial war.
Trump declared that they would remain in place until a national emergency on the Fentanyl drug and illegal immigration to the United States end. Canada retaliates on Saturday night with 25% tariffs against $ 155 billion of US goods.
On Monday, Trump agreed for a 30 -day break about his threats against Mexico and Canada, after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I am very satisfied with this initial result, and the tariffs announced on Saturday will stop for a period of 30 days to see if a final economic agreement with Canada can be structured,” Trump published on social networks. 'Justice for all!'
