Mississippi decommissions old state flag at Capital

Today is the last day for the Mississippi State flag bearing the Confederate emblem to be flown over the state Capitol. Alfred Thomas, right and Alfred McClinton both employees of the Mississippi State Capitol are seen raising and lowering commemorative State flags. They raised and lowered over 100 flags today, that have been purchased by people from all around the world, and they have each flown over the Capitol, just hours after Governor Tate Reeves signed a historic Bill HB1796 decommissioning the state flag and opening the door to a new flag without the Confederate emblem that has flown for 126 years.Photo copyright © Suzi Altman @suzialtman #mississippi #flag #history #change #equality #progress #confederateflag
