How does a song about slavery become a beloved melody, a celebratory anthem, and an integral part of American folklore and culture? The state song of Kentucky since the 1920s, sung each May before every Derby as the horses step onto the track for the post parade, “My Old Kentucky Home” has inhabited hearts and memories in perpetual reprise.
