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.
