The option that best identifies the focus of the speaker in "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is a) The speaker is focused on a group of people and their history.

The poem deals with themes of race and  anti-black racism, and how African Americans have remained strong and resilient through difficult times in the past, but they can struggle as a collective for a better future. I was written by James Weldon Johnson in a time when Jim Crow was in full effect, so the speaker is focusing on the African American community and the possibility of a brighter future.

Write a few sentences describing what you visualized, heard, and smelled when you imagined the poem.
Fudgin [204]

Answer: I went out to the hazel woods

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.
