The Mississippi state legislature on Sunday passed a bill to remove the Confederate emblem from their flag in a historic referendum on the only remaining state flag to feature the Confederate insignia.

The bill will now go to Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, who has said he would sign it into law. Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Reeves, told CNN Monday "once the Legislature sends the final bill to his desk and he's had the opportunity to review it, Governor Reeves will sign the bill in the coming days."
The legislation -- which cleared the state House in a 91-23 vote and the state Senate with a 37-14 vote -- comes as Mississippi lawmakers have been weighing a change to their flag for weeks amid ongoing racial justice protests across the country.

Maybe next will be Georgia's flag that will be changed.The author of the article doesn't know what he is talking about. By the way the stars and bars is this flag.

They changed it a while back.


Doesn't make sense for the government of the people to fly a flag that 30% of the population sees as oppressing them.

If you consider 2003 awhile back then sure.Looking at wikipedia about every flag since the late 1800s used for Georgia is some variation of the stars and bars flag.

Republican politicians slit their own political throats when they yield to the Democrats. Why bother to campaign for Republicans when most Republican politicians will join the Democrats believing then the Democratic MSM, press and Internet will like them. Instead, they make themselves irrelevant to anything.

It's about damn time. No more state-sponsored endorsement of traitors. :thumbs:

And can they give the Netherlands the rest of their flag back?
