Fafa Picault can score - but did you know he can sing?
Discover the story of the Houston Dynamo No. 10 and how he came to record his own version of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing', also known as the Black National Anthem. The song has a special, personal importance to Fafa who grew up singing and still records music today, and will also be played across MLS stadiums the weekend of June 18-19 to commemorate Juneteenth.
Major League Soccer, Black Players for Change, and Pitch Black - the League's employee resource group for Black employees - have also joined forces on programs and initiatives to make meaningful change both inside and outside of MLS. Additional details will be available on MLSsoccer.com.
