Mississippi - It is Time for a New Flag!

I think Mississippi should change its state flag. The Confederate flag symbol should be removed because it shows support for slavery and racism. The Rebel flag should not be celebrated because it shows pride in a time when human beings were mistreated. As long as Mississippi flies its current state flag, other states will think the people of Mississippi dislike African-Americans. It is time for a new flag in the state of Mississippi.

Hello, William. I am an African-American female. I agree with you. I think we should change the flag. Maybe we could have a contest to see who can design a flag that represents the love and respect that people in Mississippi have for all people. Do you think this is a good idea?

I totally agree, William! I like Dr. Abi's idea, and I think it would be a great project for the students of Mississippi.

I agree with you William. Mississippi needs to be pulled out of the 19th century.

This was a great read. I strongly agree that Mississippi should change their flag. Its a horrible misrepresentation of a beautiful state.

Great job William I agree on the flag Mississippi doesn't support slavery and the flag shouldn't say that we do.
Love your cousin Katie

I agree completely William! Removing such a decisive and prejudicial symbol from Mississippi's state flag is long overdue. ALL of the people of Mississippi should be represented in a positive light.

Love,
