The 3rd Stanza - this line is from the third stanza of The Star Spangled Banner. Olympian hammer thrower #GwenBerry has a problem with this verse and turned her back while the #NationalAnthem was being played during the award ceremony. I don’t necessarily agree that we should boycott the National Anthem because of problematic lyrics in the third stanza that nobody sings … but I support her right to protest. #art🎨#artworkbymisslo#misslolovestocreate #rva#dmvartist #beautiful#digitalart#digitalartist#instaart#instaartsy#artshowcase#newartwork#creative#color#rvaartist#digitalcollage# protest https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzXQSlLB8T/?utm_medium=tumblr

#JanPsaki on #GwenBerry turning her back on U.S. flag: "Part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments where we as a country haven't lived up to our highest ideals, and it means respecting of people granted to them in the Constitution to peacefully protest" .......not what you maniacs did at the #Capitol in #January. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtceX2ja9b/?utm_medium=tumblr

Black women on the frontlines sacrificing it all again!! 🙌🏾🤾🏾‍♀️✨ Gwen Berry turns away from flag on US Olympic trials podium, says she was 'set up' Hammer thrower Gwen Berry says that the playing of the national anthem while she was on the podium at the #US #Olympic track and field trials was "set up." Berry turned away from the flag to face the stands while "The Star-Spangled Banner" played during the medal ceremony on Saturday. She then draped a T-shirt bearing the words "activist athlete" over her head. Having placed third in the hammer event at the trials in Eugene, Oregon, Berry earned a spot on the US team for the #TokyoOlympics, which get underway next month. "I feel like it was set up. I feel like they did that on purpose, and I was pissed, to be honest," said Berry of the anthem being played while she was on the podium. "I was thinking about what should I do. Eventually, I just stayed there and just swayed. I put my shirt over my head. It was real disrespectful. I know they did that on purpose, but it'll be alright. I see what's up." #USA #TrackandField (#USATF) did not respond to CNN's requests for comment, but according to Reuters, it said the anthem was played each day at the trials according to a pre-arranged schedule. "We didn't wait until the athletes were on the podium for the hammer throw awards," said USATF spokeswoman Susan Hazzard. "We're thrilled with the women's hammer throw team that selected themselves for the Games." "They said they were going to play it before we walked out, then they played it when we were out there,'' said Berry. "But I don't really want to talk about the anthem because that's not important. The anthem doesn't speak for me. It never has.'' On IG, Berry added a caption alongside photos of her on the podium, saying: "I said what I said... I meant what I said... STOP PLAYING WITH ME!! PERIOD!" Thank you Sister #GwenBerry 👏🏾👏🏾 #MuchLove to you! 👉🏾 @mzberrythrows_ Kindly #Follow @wonderwombman @wonderwombman2 #wonderwombman https://www.instagram.com/p/CQqqYzGLtBo/?utm_medium=tumblr
