Lady Antebellum Changes Name To Support Black Lives Matter
Country music band Lady Antebellum announced yesterday that they are changing their name to Lady A. This is because the word antebellum is associated with the pre-Civil War south. Lady A said in a statement, "After much personal reflection, band discussion, prayer and many honest conversations with some of our closest black friends and colleagues, we have decided to drop the word 'antebellum' from our name and move forward as Lady A, the nickname our fans gave us almost from the start." Lady A also went on to explain that they were originally named after the southern, antebellum-style home where they took their first photos together. They admited to not taking the racist associations around the word into account. Lady A said they will continue to educate themselves and will practice anti-racism.
