Here is an article about why it may be time for a new National Anthem due to the reference to slavery in the lyrics and the fact that Francis Scott Key was a slaveowner:

Here is a quote from the article that quotes historian and scholar Daniel E. Walker:



I never liked the "Star Spangled Banner" because it is not an American song. It is an English song with lyrics re-written by an American. Plus, it's hard to sing.

"Lift Every Voice and Sing" is a suggestion. It's a nice song, but it's a bit complicated. It would take a while for everyone to learn it.

Another suggestion was "Imagine". Great song, but lyrics aren't right for a National Anthem. "Imagine there's no Heaven. It's easy if you try. No Hell below us. Above us only sky."

I know evangelicals who will not say the word "Hell". One I know personally says "h-e-double-hockey-sticks" rather than say the word.

"This Land is Your Land" is another suggestion. Native Americans argue that this land was not made for you and me. To them, this land was taken from me by you.

"God Bless America" has been suggested. It's ok, but it sounds more like a show tune than a national anthem.

Maybe a new National Anthem should be commissioned with submissions made my many artists? Then the songs will vetted and finally voted on.

I will admit that everyone wants too much and those elected know upfront that is virtually impossible to make people happy. If this continues much longer making a living will be the very least of your worries.
