A poet, composer and scholar of African American literature, James Weldon Johnson wrote the moving lyrics to the hymn "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday in 1900. Within twenty years it was widely sung in the south as well as other parts of the country. Today, it is often referred to as "The Black National Anthem," calling upon the faithful to lift their voices and sing the praises of faith, hope, liberty and freedom. Now, renowned artist Keith Mallett takes inspiration from this famous hymn for a dramatic angel figurine. Introducing the Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Figurine, a limited-edition first ever exclusively from The Hamilton Collection.

Expertly handcrafted of artist's resin and hand-painted, our Master Artisans have carefully captured every detail of Keith Mallett's original design, from the angel's graceful pose and peaceful expression to her teal and golden wings that shine like the stars with sparkling glitter. For the perfect finishing touch, her pearlescent gown, with its golden metallic sash, is graced with the joyful first verse of "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing." A beautiful addition to your angel decor, this heavenly figurine also makes a wonderful inspirational gift. Strong demand is anticipated, so don't delay. Order now!
