D-Day for "The Star-Spangled Banner"


Listen Later

A move is afoot to retire "The Star-Spangled Banner" as our national anthem because of a line in the poem in which the lyrics of the song are based. Francis Scott Key's poem "The Defence of Fort McHenry" contains the phrase "No refuge could save the hireling and slave, from the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave." Even though that stanza is not included in the anthem, a group of virtue signaling protesters say the song must go. Is dumping "The Star-Spangled Banner" one woke movement too far?
