What nation is it for?

It was written as a hymn, for church. It was later adopted as the song of a nascent civil rights movement.

I do not see it as accurate to call it a "national anthem" ... more accurate to say "civil rights anthem." I see the "Black National Anthem" term as a harmless bit of hyperbole. Doubtless, others here see it as some form of "treason."
