  abstract: It is the state song of Kentucky, and is sung each May, before every Kentucky Derby, since 1930. Written by Stephen Foster nine years before the Civil War, "My Old Kentucky Home" became a national minstrel sensation. It was a lament by an enslaved man, sold by his master, who must say goodbye to his family and cherished birthplace, with hints of the brutality to come. Bingham explores the history, from decades of performances through its twenty-first-century reassessment.
