Ole Miss has decided to remove the song “Dixie” from its marching band’s game day routine, reports The Oxford Eagle’s Alex McDaniel.

“The newly expanded and renovated Vaught-Hemingway Stadium will further highlight our best traditions and create new ones that give the Ole Miss Rebels the best home-field advantage in college football,” Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. “Because the Pride of the South is such a large part of our overall experience and tradition, the Athletics Department asked them to create a new and modern pregame show that does not include ‘Dixie’ and is more inclusive for all fans.”

Many have deemed “Dixie” racist over the years. Here are the lyrics:

I wish I was in the land of cotton,
old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in,
early on a frosty mornin’,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down South in Dixie,
Away, away, away down South in Dixie.

According to a column from 2013, beginning with the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, many students, primarily African-Americans, began to protest the playing of “Dixie” and other songs, stating that they invoke a Southern heritage and Confederate culture that is racist and a reminder of Jim Crow policies that promoted segregation.
