Vandals Paint ‘Racist Anthem’ and Deface Baltimore Monument to Francis Scott Key
Add the man who wrote the lyrics to our national anthem to the list of people whose monuments have been desecrated by vandals. The monument to Francis Scott Key in downtown Baltimore was badly defaced last night.
A statue to Francis Scott Key, the writer of the Star Spangled Banner, was defaced overnight in downtown Baltimore, with someone painting “Racist Anthem” on the side of the Bolton Hill monument.
Baltimore Police received a report of the vandalism at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday. They are investigating, but have no suspects.
The monument — primarily concrete and marble, but with gold in the base and a gold figure atop — had been tagged with black lettering, but also with what appeared to be splashes of red and black paint.
