fix reference to national anthem
Line 1: Line 1: −
"America the Beautiful" is a patriotic song written as a poem by [[Katharine Lee Bates]] and published in 1893 in ''The Congregationalist.''  Unlike our National Anthem "[[Battle Hymn of the Republic|The Battle Hymn of the Republic]]", "America the Beautiful" has no official recognition.  Its lack of legal status and its use at official state functions fascinate [[liberal]]s and liberal observers.  For example, the [[Chinese]] performed it during [[Richard Nixon]]'s visit in 1972.
