&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lift Every Voice. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Black Swan Records was first to record the anthem Lift Every Voice and Sing. From a family's Thanksgiving dinner, we portal through to the song's past, present, and future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Vanishing of Harry Pace&lt;/em&gt; was created by Jad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;It was Motown before Motown, FUBU before FUBU: Black Swan Records. The label founded exactly 100 years ago by Harry Pace. Pace launched the career of Ethel Waters, inadvertently invented the term rock n roll, &lt;span&gt;played an important role in W.C. Handy becoming "Father of the Blues," &lt;/span&gt;inspired &lt;em&gt;Ebony&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Jet&lt;/em&gt; magazines, and &lt;span&gt;helped desegregate&lt;/span&gt; the South Side of Chicago in an epic Supreme Court battle. Then, he disappeared.  The &lt;em&gt;Vanishing of Harry Pace&lt;/em&gt; is a series about the phenomenal but forgotten man who changed the American music scene. It's a story about betrayal, family, hidden identities, and a time like no other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;This series was produced in collaboration with author Kiese Laymon, scholar Imani Perry, writer Cord Jefferson, and WQXR’s Terrance McKnight. Jami Floyd is our consulting producer; our fact checker is Natalie Meade. Featuring interviews with Pace's descendants and over forty musicians, historians, writers, and musicologists, all of whom grapple with Pace’s enduring legacy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thank you to young Miles Francis and his family for bringing our Thanksgiving scene to life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;This episode features the book &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/May-We-Forever-Stand-National/dp/1469638606"&gt;May We Forever Stand&lt;/a&gt; written by Imani Perry, all about the Black National Anthem.&lt;/p&gt;
