The 126-year fight to change Mississippi’s Confederate flag

  • On November 3, 2020, Mississippi voters finally adopted a state flag that represents the diversity of the state.
    Read more on Vox: bit.ly/3nyUDal
    For 126 years, Mississippi’s state flag prominently featured the Confederate battle emblem in its design. That emblem is the most enduring and recognizable symbol of the American Civil War, a four-year conflict in which Southern states fought to preserve slavery in the United States.
    Since then, the symbol has been used as a banner of Southern pride but is also widely used by white supremacists to honor a time when Black Americans were enslaved. Activists in Mississippi have protested the state flag for decades, and it almost changed in 2001, when an alternative design was presented but failed to get enough votes to replace the old one.
    After the 2015 massacre of nine Black churchgoers in South Carolina and the uprising in 2020 in response to the murder of George Floyd, Mississippi’s legislature finally abolished the state flag bearing the Confederate emblem. On November 3, 2020, Mississippi voters approved a new flag design that’s more inclusive and reflective of the people across the state.

      The pride they had was that they were able to enslave another race. Make no mistake when they say “Make America Great Again” this is exactly what they mean. They want to destroy America and return to slavery. This is why I vote democrat even though I don’t like the democrats who run. The worst democrat is still a million times better than the “best” pro-slaver
