Did you know that our State Song - "Maryland, My Maryland" - glorifies the Confederacy and honors our State's slave-holding and segregationist past? Did you know that the Southern Poverty Law Center includes Maryland's State Song on its list of shame as a public symbol of the Confederacy that distorts history by honoring a secessionist government that waged war to preserve white supremacy and the enslavement of millions of people, including the ancestors of our fellow citizens?

Marylanders deserve a State song that makes us all proud and reflects who we are in 2020! Our WDC Advocacy Committee has been working hard to convince our legislators that, after nine failed attempts since 1974, it is long past time to retire "Maryland, My Maryland" - and you can help.
