The Black National Anthem
John R. Johnson
James Weldon Johnson
Booker T. Washington
“Lift Every Voice and Sing” was publicly performed first as a poem as part of a celebration of
Lincoln’s Birthday on February 12, 1900, by 500 school children at the segregated Stanton School.
Its principal, James Weldon Johnson, wrote the words to introduce its honored guest Booker T.
Washington. The poem was later set to music by Johnson’s brother John in 1905. Singing this song
quickly became a way for African Americans to demonstrate their patriotism and hope for the
future.
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory won.
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
"Speaking Truth To Power"
Dear Honorees,
On behalf of the Tucson Branch NAACP, we congratulate you on your accomplishments during this historic
28h Annual African American Student Recognition Program.
As the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization, the NAACP has worked all allies of all races who
believe in and stand for the principles of political, educational, social, and economic equality of minority
groups. It is with this mission in mind that we want to commend the hard work and dedication that the
students of TUSD have achieved. Academics, attendance, athletics, humanitarianism, and fine arts are
cornerstones to becoming productive citizens and set the standards for success as you continue your
education. Our future truly depends on you.
The Tucson Branch NAACP is very proud of the accomplishments you have achieved!
Xavier Clinton Pinellas Spirit Award
Dr. Xavier Clinton Pinellas, an African American educator, was dedicated to the empowerment
of African American youth. He wisely sought to instill in students the principles of
self-motivation and personal pride, knowing that these values lead to the con idence
necessary to achieve their goals.
He graduated from Kissimmee High School in 1966, Bethune-Cookman College (HBCU) in
Daytona Beach, FL in 1969 and Fort Valley State College in Fort Valley, Ga. in 1973. He later
attended Boston State University earning his educational specialist degree in educational
administration. In 1993, he received a doctorate of education degree in counseling and
educational administration form the University of Arizona.
As a counselor at Tucson High School he began a program to develop leadership qualities for
African American students; students where exposed to guest speakers and community
members who addressed strategies for success in high school and beyond. Leadership was a
primary focus and served as a foundation for college readiness and future careers. His
efforts, and those of like-minded colleagues, culminated in an annual event which is now
called the “African American Student Recognition Program.”
When illness necessitated a move to Florida, Ms. Carlo Thomas stepped in to continue his
work. Mr. Pinellas died in February, 2001, but will long be remembered as the inspiration for
the Xavier Clinton Pinellas Spirit Award.

MISSION:
Delivering Excellence

4-PRONGED APPROACH
The A,B,C’s of What We DO
A = Attendance, B = Behavior/Discipline, C = Credit Acquisition & Credit
Recovery, G = Grades
SUPPORT SERVICES: We provide direct and ancillary support based on the
Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) model and what we call the A,B,C’s
of what we do. Department Specialists provide a wide spectrum of student,
parent, and educator support based on the A,B,C’s of what we do.
Specialists, working at the elementary and middle school level provide
support during classroom instruction class activities. Support is provided
based on administrator and/or teacher request. Support may be 1:1, small
groups, or in a classroom. Specialists also provide support by connecting
families with community and social services resources. Other support may
include home visits, individual and small group tutoring, mentoring, field
trips and behavior plans: all based on the A,B,C’s of what we do.
LITERACY INITIATIVE: AASSD is committed to student and family literacy.
We recognize the importance of providing students with literature that
accurately represents and reflects their cultural heritage. Therefore AASSD
has partnered with the Pima County Public Library to inform and educate
parents about available reading resources such as Achieve 3000. Achieve
3000 is a web-based reading program to help students build fluency and
comprehension. Reading materials are also culturally relevant.
CULTURALLY RELEVANT ENRICHMENT EXPERIENCES: To promote
cultural appreciation, the AASSD sponsors or partners with community
organizations to host a number of experiences including Harambee
celebration, African American Youth Heritage Day, Black History Month
Brain Bowl, African American Read-In Chain, Historical Black College and
University Expo and Tour, University of Arizona Engineering Initiative and
empowerment workshops. Students and adults from diverse backgrounds
participate in all experiences.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS: AASSD builds relationships with
community organizations to support academic, cultural, and social
experiences for students. The purpose is twofold: 1) To serve as a conduit
for connecting students, families and schools with community resources,
and 2) To increase the number of positive role models students are able to
connect with, and to learn about careers, leadership skills, and college prep.
