LIVE UPDATES: Flag resolution clears Senate, paves the way for state flag to change

5. Here's a Popular Proposed New Flag

and its an interesting story because it was designed by the granddaughter of arch-segregationist John Stennis-but its a complete break from the past and I think its beautiful-one of the better state flags I've seen. BTW the granddaughter has asked that it not be referred to as "the Stennis Flag" as its often been called since named after her. She refers to it as the Hospitality Flag and has been adopted de facto by many looking for change like universities in Mississippi. In some ways I think it is great symbolism that the new flag has been designed by a granddaughter of a segregationist-the hope that new generations will rise above a legacy of hate. The new flag MUST have no connect to the old flag
