The Mississippi state flag was the last in the nation containing the Confederate battle emblem until lawmakers officially voted to retire it to a museum July 2020.
The law removing the state flag required the creation of a commission to select a single new design by September for Mississippi voters to approve or reject on the November 2020 ballot.
The Mississippi Flag Commission will print the five final designs on flags and fly them in front of the Old Capitol in downtown Jackson on Aug. 25, when it next meets. The commission will select a single design on Sept. 2 to put before voters on the November ballot. Read our latest story here.
