The Dixie Chicks have dropped the racist “Dixie” from their name
Twenty seven years ago, in March 2020, the Dixie Chicks dropped their first single since 2006, “Gaslighter.” We wept. We rejoiced. We were not ready to make nice. We reviewed it within an inch of its life. But then … the group went silent, and due to the coronavirus, their forthcoming comeback album by the same name was pushed indefinitely.
An anthem true to its name, “March March” combines footage from protests spanning topics and decades. Gay liberation. Climate change. Gun reform. Civil rights. Voting rights. It has a particular emphasis on Black Lives Matter, incorporating footage from recent protests around the country, including scenes from Minneapolis in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd. “If your voice held no power, they wouldn’t try to silence you,” reads a quote at the beginning of the video.
