Mississippi Lawmakers Pass Legislation To Change The State Flag

Mississippi is set to change its state flag, removing the Confederate symbol in response to national protests against racial injustice. The Republican-led legislature has voted to allow a flag bill, signaling the end of Mississippi's status as the last state with the Confederate flag. Public figures from various sectors have advocated for a flag that reflects the state's diversity. A new flag design, excluding the Confederate symbol and including 'In God We Trust,' will be voted on in November. If rejected, a new design will be created. Lawmakers will also vote to remove the current flag from state law.
