ginally published in The Christ
ian Science Monitor. Entitled,
“The Band Played Dixie”, the
article follows:
“Some day perhaps we shall
have passed through this thin-
skinned, supersensitive age and
be able again to deal in nation
alistic humor and dialect stor
ies. And this will be salutary,
because dialect humor, done
without ridicule, can be rich
and warmly affectionate. And
because we are often endeared
to a people or a nationality by
thair customs and foibles and

characteristics—which humor
simply exaggerates.
“The thin-skinnedness is car
ried too far when, in the Amer
ican South, someone objects to
the playing of that stirring tune
Dixie. The Dixie lyrics are folk
lore stuff, not racist propagan
da. In fact, President Abraham
Lincoln handled the situation
just about right when, accord
ing to a good lady’s recollect
ion, some Northerner objected,
in April 1865, to the band’s
playing ’Dixie in Washington.
President Lincoln settled the
matter with this comment: T
have always thought Dixie one
of the best tunes that I ever
heard. I insisted yesterday that
we had fairly captured it. I pre
sented this to the Attorney Gen
eral and he gave his opinion
that it was our lawful prize. I
ask the band to give us a good
turn upon it.’ ”
The article was reprinted in
the UDC magazine with the fol
lowing comment:
“While we appreciate the
enthusiastic approval of our
Dixie and we recognize the
fact that many of our precious
things were indeed captured
from the South, we refuse to
agree that Dixie was their ‘law
ful prize”. Dixie still is one of
the South’s most precious and
lasting treasures, but we do
want everyone to enjoy it, to
appreciate its true meaning and
worth, and above all, to play it.
“We sincerely appreciate the
Christian Science Monitor's ed
itorial and even more appre
ciate the complete understand
ing of the great loss to Ameri
can background that the pass
ing of dialect and folk-lore will
bring about.”
The meeting was closed with
prayer by Mrs. W. E. Shealy.
