The twin acts of singing and fighting for freedom have been inseparable in African American history. May We Forever Stand tells an essential part of that story. With lyrics penned by James Weldon Johnson and music composed by his brother Rosamond, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was embraced almost immediately as an anthem that captured the story and the aspirations of black Americans. Since the song's creation, it has been adopted by the NAACP and performed by countless artists in times of both crisis and celebration, cementing its place in African American life.

La música está en todas partes: en las conversaciones cotidianas, en el ruido de la ciudad, en el bullicio de las calles y en los momentos de descanso. Es el lenguaje que nos conecta sin necesidad de palabras, nos emociona, nos moviliza y nos transforma. Desde los cantos de los esclavos africanos hasta la revolución del K-pop, pasando por la transgresión de Rosalía y la pureza matemática de Bach, la música ha sido el motor de historias, celebraciones y tragedias.

La edad de la penumbra es la historia, en gran parte desconocida, de cómo una religión militante sometió y aniquiló deliberadamente las enseñanzas del mundo clásico, lo que abrió paso a siglos de adhesión incondicional a «una sola fe verdadera». El Imperio romano se había mostrado generoso acogiendo nuevas creencias, pero la llegada del cristianismo lo cambió todo. Esta nueva religión, pese a predicar la paz, era violenta, despiadada y decididamente intolerante.

Leer a mano trata de la percepción, algo que no atañe solo a la vista: las obras de arte y los edificios poseen cualidades táctiles, que influyen, hasta de forma inconsciente, en las sensaciones que nos producen. También es un «elogio de la lentitud» aplicado a las artes y a la arquitectura, una defensa del ritmo pausado que se precisa tanto para crear algo como para contemplarlo y comprenderlo. Las artes y los oficios conllevan experiencias que nos conforman como humanos. Crear y producir no son lo mismo.
