Sheryl Lee Ralph performed the Black National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," at Super Bowl LVII. The song was written by James Weldon Johnson and his brother J. Rosamond in 1900, and is often referred to as the "Black National Anthem".
Ralph's performance was backed by a full choir on the field, and she sang the song on its 123rd anniversary. This is the first-ever Super Bowl to feature two Black starting quarterbacks facing off against each other, making it a fitting occasion for Ralph's performance of "Lift Every Voice and Sing".
Ralph is best known for her role as Barbara Howard on Abbott Elementary, for which she has won multiple Emmys. She also won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Deena Jones in the Broadway musical Dreamgirls.
The Super Bowl Halftime Show will be performed by Rihanna, whose Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 Show featured Sheryl Lee Ralph as a model.
