The NFL has vowed to once again feature “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” long referred to as the Black national anthem, prominently this season.

The NFL is continuing its 10-year, $250 million pledge to fight racism by playing the song before certain “tentpole games,” including the NFL playoffs, NFL draft and Sept. 9 NFL kickoff game. Additionally, the league will promote social justice through signage, player helmet decals and PSAs, Front Office Sports reports.

“They’re bringing back a lot of elements from last year,” a source told the outlet.
