Retrieving string from DAT to display on LCD

Hello all again! I have an issue trying to get a string from the DAT section to display to my LCD. Can someone assist me on this please? I know my function works since I can manually put a string in the LCD_Line1 and it will show correctly.

VAR
  LONG LCD_Line1

PUB main | selected_menu

  cognew(display_updater, @displayStack)

  selected_menu := 0
  LCD_Line1 := string(@@_menuItems[selected_menu])    ' --------- This does not work....

PUB display_updater
  ' code to init the display....
  repeat
    lcd.str(LCD_Line1)

DAT
  Menu0    BYTE   "Menu 0", 0
  Menu1    BYTE   "Menu 1", 0
  Menu2    BYTE   "Menu 2", 0
  _menuItems WORD @Menu0, @Menu1, @Menu2
