Murals, Buildings and a Flag Law in Mississippi

January 27, 2020

**  Charlottesville mural calls for local control over Confederate monuments. (Virginia  And their "Local Control" means removal.)

**  Reese Foundation weighs in on petition to rename bridge.  (Selma, Alabama  Edmund Pettus Bridge for Sen. John Lewis of Georgia.)

**  What should we do with racist monuments and buildings (UNC-Greensboro  Remove them.  Also mentions Dickinson College (Pennsylvania) renaming three buildings there that are named after advocates of slavery.)

**  Y'all Politics site in Mississippi reports a legislative bill by Sen. Seymour that requires all government organizations to fly the state flag, including colleges and universities.  It also protects private citizens who choose to fly the flag.  (You would never expect for this to be something that has to be settled by a law.  The way I look at it, if a university chooses not to fly the state flag, their public money should be cut off.  They have seceded in effect.)

Personally, I would like to have the Mississippi state flag's design put on the ballot and let the people make the decision to keep it as is or change it.
