Welcome to our celebration of music and heritage event! Belinda S. Womack
was a 1973 graduate of WSSU and a native of Winston-Salem, NC USA. A double
music and education major as well as a member of the University Choir, she studied
under the direction of Permilla F. Dunston and Robert L. Morris. She became a
classically trained Mezzo Soprano and certified Music Educator for nearly 40 years.
Maestra Womack retired as a music teacher from the Washington, DC public
schools a few years prior to her untimely death from complications of multiple
sclerosis in 2014. Indeed, music was the string she used to thread her life’s purpose.
Once fully endowed, this scholarship fund will provide tuition assistance,
materials, supplies, and pre-professional development opportunities for incoming
and existing music majors in choir and band, emphasizing music education, at
WSSU and eventually college music programs nationwide. Today we volunteer our
time and talent with the expectation you will continue to support the fine and
performing arts in your community!
Musically yours,

Excerpt from the Ally J’s Music website:
“Music is what brings me joy. Beginning with that first note and seeing someone in
the crowd close their eyes and vibe with you is a priceless feeling. I’m a ball of
nerves every single time I get on stage, but that connection-even if I only make one;
that realization that I don’t know that particular person, but we know each other
through the lyrics I’m singing, is magic.”

Anthem & Alma Mater
“Lift E’vry Voice and Sing” Words and Music by James Weldon Johnson and John Rosamond Johnson
1. Lift every voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise High as the list’ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won.
2. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast’ning rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died.
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered. We have come, treading our path through the blood of the
slaughtered.
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget
Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.
--------------------------------------------------
“As We Go Forth” Words and Music by Noah F. Ryder, Arrangement by D’Walla Simmons-Burke
Recorded/Youtube by Dr. Roy Belfield, piano and Rolyndria Anderson, soprano
As we go forth from Old State U., a song of love we sing to thee And praises to thy memory of days at State
University! Thy sons and daughters bring thee fame through knowledge which we here have gained. Exultingly we
praise thy name, Oh Winston-Salem State University!
As we go forth from Old State U., Good leaders we will always be And stand for all humanity as you have taught us,
State University. In all we do, we shall proclaim to all the world the enduring fame. As we go forth, we praise thy
name, Oh, Winston-Salem State University!
