RBP 70: The Star-Spangled Banner: Racist?

Episode 70

A growing number of Americans are expressing anti-America sentiment, most recently in declaring the national anthem racist. The anthem, they say, contains references to the slave and was written by a slaveholder and is therefore fundamentally racist. Is any of this true? What is the history of the anthem and its author? What of the reference to the slave? Should we continue to sing the anthem, or should it be replaced? Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast to explore this topic and consider how we should respond.
