Why not call it a folk song instead of the black national anthem ? Same song - same lyrics - same message - less controversy. Our country's history of cultures relaying their messages has been through folk songs. I would like to know who had the authority to name the song the black "national" anthem. Is not congress the only authority that can declare a "national" anthem ?
March 3 1931
President Herbert Hoover signs a congressional act making “The Star-Spangled Banner” the official national anthem of the United States.
