“Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing”

About This Site

This exhibit is a collaboration between Yale University Library and Edgewood Creative Thinking Through STEAM Magnet School in New Haven, Connecticut, a kindergarten through eighth grade school with a long tradition of an arts integrated curriculum, and a new focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM). As is the case in many schools, “Lift Ev’ry Voice” is sung regularly at school gatherings and has become an important part of the school culture. 

This exhibit was co-curated by Melissa Barton, Ellen Doon, Afua Ferdnance, and Suzanne Lovejoy, librarians and archivists at Yale University Library, in consultation with Kim Rogers and Aron Smith, teachers at Edgewood Creative Thinking Through STEAM Magnet School.
