Why, in an era when music's biggest stars are more outspoken than ever, does it feel like we're still waiting for the contemporary political anthem?

I am not proposing that “Lift Every Voice and Sing” be designated as a co-anthem or displace any existing national symbol.

Old Testament-themed songs have been added to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hymnbook in the “Hymns for Home and Church” collection.
