Is it time for the Dixie Chicks to rethink their name?

their appreciation of their homeland to “Dixie,” even if, according to legend, it’s the title of one of Abraham Lincoln’s favorite songs (one, incidentally, in which the author longs to be in “the land of cotton” because “old times there are not forgotten”).Regardless of its origin, for many Blacks, ‘Dixie’ conjures a time and a place of bondage.“Dixie,” however, didn’t bring down the Dixie Chicks.
