Francis Scott Key statue toppled in San Francisco

Protesters in San Fransisco pulled down a statue of Francis Scott Key on Friday night. Key wrote a poem after witnessing a huge American flag being hoisted after a victory over the British during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. That poem became “The Star-Spangled Banner“, the national anthem of the US. Key and his family had links to slavery. Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter: Follow us on Instagram: htt
