As drt7891 posted below.... the Sun Herald is reporting that Oxford businesses are now flying the Magnolia Flag on the Square. Ole Miss' leadership is publicly leading the charge to change the state flag. Bjork and their interim Chancellor and Senator Wicker have all publicly expressed their views supporting changing the flag and putting the current one in a museum.
Bjork's and their interim Chancellor's tweets will be popular among the large majority of their fans. Also most of my State buddies support the change. So I'm optimistic it'll change this time.
Hope Keenum and Scott will join them. Changing the flag is the right thing to do.
If all the Presidents and ADs at the three big state schools would publicly get on board and support the change, I think it would go a long way toward getting it done this time.
It's a symbol of hate for about 40% of the people in our state (our black population). I think South Carolina will change theirs. I hope we are not the last state in the US hanging onto the Confederate flag.
It's time to change it!
