Country band Dixie Chicks have changed their name to The Chicks, to help highlight racial inequality in the US.
"Dixie" was often used as a nickname for the southern states that made up the Confederate States of America during the US Civil War era.
The Texas trio revealed they'd dropped the name, while unveiling a protest song called March March.
They follow in the footsteps of US pop group Lady Antebellum, who changed their name earlier this month.
Antebellum has similar connotations with the slavery-era.
