Facebook is marking Black History Month with the debut of a 60-second national TV spot during the National Basketball Association All-Star Game on TNT Sunday night.
The long-form version of Lift Every Voice and Sing debuted on the company’s social channels Wednesday.
Facebook said the spot was created by its Facebook Creative X team, and it is part of the company’s ongoing More Together campaign, which also featured creative executions during the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, Super Bowl LIV and the 92nd Academy Awards.
In the new spot, “Lift Every Voice and Sing”—which is often referred to as the “Black National Anthem”—is sung by rising American girl group June’s Diary, joined by singers from various Facebook groups connected via their shared interests and experiences and “exhibiting their commonality around creating black history through a modern lens,” a Facebook spokesperson said in an email.
