Mississippi flies new flag over State Capitol

[TexasTowelie]

Today the state of Mississippi officially flew a new flag for the first time since 1861. Replacing the former flag is the “In God We Trust” flag which was selected by a Commission and voted on by the public in the November 2020 election.

The flag was ratified by the Mississippi Legislature within the first two days of the 2021 session. HB 1 was voted on by the House and Senate, officially allowing the bill to move forward to the Governor who signed it into law on Monday at 2:30pm.

The signing took place at the Two Mississippi Museums before officials made their way to the State Capitol building where three flags were raised atop the building. A flag was first presented to the Speaker of the House Philip Gunn and Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann, and one was brought by Governor Tate Reeves.

All four flags were flown at the Capitol. Three remain while the fourth was brought down and taken to the Two Mississippi Museums.

Personally, I’m glad. It’s progress. But Proud Boys are coming for that.
