Proud Mississippian!!! As a white southerner I’ve never flown the rebel flag or wore it on my clothes, but I was once ardent supported keeping our old state flag. I am a traditionalist by nature, afraid of change and that was my only argument for keeping the old flag. I have many black friends and live in MS, the state with the highest population of blacks in the country. I began to study my state’s history and The more I fear he’s the more I began to accept the fact that I was completely ignorant of the racial history. I asked my black friends what they thought and they all expressed to me the feeling of discomfort they got when seeing the Confederate emblem on our flag. Mississippi’s demographics have changed drastically since the Great Migration but prior to 1930 Blacks made up as much as 58% of the population.
During Reconstruction George Washington Gayles served as the only Black man in the Senate from 1882 to 1886. Nine Black men served in the House in 1888, six in 1890, and two in 1892 and 1894. There would not be another African American elected to the Mississippi state legislature until Robert G. Clark Jr won his historic election in 1968. Even with a black majority in the state MS has never had a Black governor nor have Blacks ever comprised a majority in the state legislature.
Fifteen years after Reconstruction ended in Mississippi held a convention to write a new state constitution, only specially elected delegates were invited to the capitol in Jackson. All but one of the delegates were white - Isaiah Montgomery was the lone black representative.
According to census data, Mississippi’s total population was 1,289,600, blacks 742,559 (56.2%) whites 544,851 (43.7%) yet whites made up 99% of the delegates at the 1890 convention.
One the hottest debates at the convention were literacy tests and poll taxes as requirements for voting. The tests, usually unfair, kept almost all Black voters from the polls. The poll tax also kept large numbers of Black Mississippians, as well as White ones, from voting. Jim Crow laws in Ms were codified by law by a white minority in 1890 and perpetuated until the Civil Rights movement in the 1950’s and 60’s.
Former MS Gov. James Kimble Vardaman said of his assessment of the 1890 Constitution’s purpose: “There is no use to equivocate or lie about the matter. Mississippi’s constitutional convention was held for no other purpose than to eliminate the n*gger from politics; not the ignorant—but the n*gger,” said Vardaman, who was known as “The Great White Chief” for his steadfast defense of white supremacy.
The old flag was a symbol of white supremacy in 1890 and it was used as a symbol of white supremacy by segregationists like James Eastman and George Wallace in the 60’s to resist the racial integration of schools.

Man I never thought this song would actually get the recognition it deserves
Andrew Beshears
It doesnt deserve any ....its not rock
Andrew Beshears
4evermrez wtf is that lol
Elizabeth McLeod
Andrew Beshears It’s fusion rock blues.
Max Thaddeus
It didn’t get the recognition because of its musical qualities, it got the recognition because of virtue signaling. Everything in the mainstream media is pushing an agenda and they are not on your side.
C U
It still hasn't
