Leave it to Sheryl Lee Ralph to kick off the big game with a bang.
The “Abbott Elementary” actress, 66, made Super Bowl history on Sunday when she performed the black National Anthem, singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” ahead of kickoff between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
She wore a fiery red jumpsuit by black-owned fashion brand Harbison Studio to sing the hymn, which was originally written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson and brother John Rosamond Johnson in 1900.
The color-blocked look featured puffed off-the-shoulder sleeves, decorative gold buttons and a dramatic train along with matching opera gloves.
