Angel Reese opens up on singing Black National Anthem while Fever fans booed her
The NAACP says the hymn began as a poem written in 1900 by James Weldon Johnson, with music composed by his brother, John Rosamond Johnson. A choir of 500 schoolchildren first performed it publicly in Jacksonville, Florida, for a celebration of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday.The song has also been part of WNBA Juneteenth programming in recent years. Still, Reese seemed to acknowledge the allegations anyway after the game."Obviously, there's no place in this league for that," Reese said at that time.
