Answer:
ul low note, then steadily rises in rhythm, spanning the pain and promise of Black history, picking up pace in the stanzas until its final crescendo. The song’s opening words have long been a source of inspiration and comfort to African Americans:
Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
'Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
On Thursday night in Kansas City, the National Football League featured a live performance of “Lift Every Voice” by Alicia Keys before its season-opening games, a display prompted by the police brutality and racial justice protests that have swept the country after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. The league’s decision to play “Lift Every Voice” exposed millions of Americans to the song for the first time.
Most Americans support athletes speaking out, say anthem protests are appropriate, Post poll finds
The song, known as the Black national anthem, was played more than 20 minutes before “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which was written by slaveholder Francis Scott Key and includes lyrics about the capture of escaped slaves who fought for the British during the War of 1812.
“Playing the Black national anthem is wonderful to acknowledge what Black people have been through in this country, but that doesn’t negate the racist authorship of the ‘Star Spangled Banner,’ ” said CeLillianne Green, a historian, poet, lawyer and author of the book “A Bridge: The Poetic Primer on African and African American Experiences.” “Most people don’t know what the second and third stanzas say in the national anthem and that Francis Scott Key was outraged by Black people fighting for their freedom. They hide those stanzas.”
“Lift Every Voice” was composed as poem in 1899 by novelist, poet and civil rights leader James Weldon Johnson when he was principal of a Black high school in the segregated city of Jacksonville, Fla., according to the Library of Congress. His brother John Rosamond Johnson — who had trained in musical conservatories in London and Boston — composed music for the poem.
The song, according to James Weldon Johnson, was first performed by his students. “A group of young men in Jacksonville, Fla., arranged to celebrate Lincoln’s birthday in 1900,” Johnson explained. “My brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, and I decided to write a song to be sung at the exercises. I wrote the words and he wrote the music. Our New York publisher, Edward B. Marks, made mimeographed copies for us, and the song was taught to and sung by a chorus of five hundred colored school children.”
Soon after that first performance, the Johnson brothers moved to New York and almost forgot about the song. But “Lift Every Voice” seemed to take on a life of its own.
AD
“The school children of Jacksonville kept singing it,” Johnson said. “They went off to other schools and sang it; they became teachers and taught it to other children. Within twenty years it was being sung over the South and in some other parts of the country.”

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
Sugar was the connection, the tie, between slavery and freedom. In order to create sugar, Europeans and colonists in the Americas destroyed Africans, turned them into objects. Just at that very same moment, Europeans—at home and across the Atlantic—decided that they could no longer stand being objects themselves. They each needed to vote, to speak out, to challenge the rules of crowned kings and royal princes. How could that be? Why did people keep speaking of equality while profiting from slaves? In fact, the global hunger for slave-grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery. Following the strand of sugar and slavery leads directly into the tumult of the Age of Revolutions. For in North America, then England, France, Haiti, and once again North America, the Age of Sugar brought about the great, final clash between freedom and slavery.
Based on this excerpt, the authors are most likely to attempt to answer which question?
A. How did colonists challenge the rules of crowned kings?
B. How did the Age of Sugar differ from the Age of Revolutions?
C. When did Europeans decide to speak about equality?
D. Why did some Europeans decide they wanted to speak out about slavery?

Explanation:
why is there a need for an information to be based on facts and evidences? what happens to audience listening to the information if they got the wrong information?
Answer:
- False information given to large groups of people does not directly affect science, but it does feed into a larger pool of misinformation.
Explanation:
- Bad information given to a group of normal people is a lot different than being given to a group of scientists.
- Information is most reliable when based on facts and evidence, but does not need to soley rely on those factors to be true.
- At the end of the day it's an equation
bad information + normal people = uneducated people
bad information + scientists = a large chain affect until it is corrected
So the countering factor is the audience.

Who is the “he” in line 112: “But he that hath the steerage of my course / Direct my sail!”?
a. Mercutio
b. Benvolio
c. Cupid or Love
d. Fate or God
Answer:
D but see below.
Explanation:
Some scholars argue that since the 'he' is not capitalized, it is not God. The convention to capitalize the 'H' in he is not a convention that is universally followed.
However, if you introduce Fate into the choice then that is an entirely different matter. Romeo's intuition tells him that all will not be well if he continues on to the party. He (Romeo) ignores this feeling and decides to go with his friends.
Had he obeyed his intuition, he may have avoided his fate. He does not. What happens is surely a choice of free will and not an action determined by God.
I'd pick D, but be very careful. It is not that given the other choices, D is not the answer. The problem with D is that you must believe that it is one or the other between God and Fate. It is too bad they were put together.

A. E-posters
B. drama C. sketch
D. slide show
Answer:
A presentation of series of still images on a projection screen or electronic display device, typically in a prearranged sequence is a:
D. slide show
Explanation:
A slide show is a presentation of images arranged in a specific sequence. Those images are projected on a surface and presented one after the other. With new technological advancements, the concept of a slide show has become broader. Until a few decades ago, a slide show consisted only of photos, that is, of static images in the form of slides. Slides were miniatures of the photos placed in a specific machine that would roll and project them in sequence. Now, thanks to computer programs, slide shows are much more complex, allowing for multimedia presentations. Slides can include text, videos and audios, for instance.
