On Sunday afternoon, the state House voted 91-23 to remove the emblem. The state Senate passed the bill in a 37-14 vote.

About time.

Democrats want no US flag, no anthem too

LLRobertson75 Good to hear, Mississippi. Chalk up yet another defeat for the Confederacy.

All confederate anything should be gone and racism should be a crime

Sad

See this actually help in the fight against racism not canceling an episode from Community.

We are only 155 years late!

Keep removing history, see what happens!! People are only going to stand by for so long and the dam is going to let loose with a flood of angry like you've never seen. In biblical proportions!!!! Can't stress this more than to say systemic annihilation, where will it end!💥😡🇺🇸

You forgot to mention that they Republicans

Republican lawmakers

Republicans made this happen

Yep, Republicans did that.

Like Tupac said, A Nucca can't see me!! Me, myself would prefer to see my enemies coming, instead of trying to find hints and clues. Sometime you think you winning, when you actually losing 😲

Welcome to the 21st century.

Gori ste od najgorih komunista, sramota!

It’s a welcome change.

Welcome to the Union, y'all.

If all the flags and monuments are to be taken down then take Martin Luther Blvd. down from every street in every town in the USA!!!!

Amen💛💛💛 It’s time ⏰

Ni me habria imaginado que el Estado de Mississippi tenia la badera confederada como oficial.. un avance que la eliminen de ahi.

Progress!!

It’s about time, hey racist republicans, get lost. Your days are gone, and like nazi soldiers, were coming after you for justice. You will pay for the hate you have lived.

agree to disagree, the flag should remain ! Our Georgia Sate Flag was stolen from US by a Governor who promised a VOTE; yes or no BUT he did not !

Stupid snowflakes have no idea about American history. They probably don’t even know what the Civil War was about or when it happened. Too busy learning about personal pronouns and the 58 genders.

Can’t believe it took this long.

And the 2020 Civil War over the Civil War continues. Looks like the South is going to win this time. I mean the black south. Oh well, it does not real hurt or fix anything.

My state! Something I am finally proud of for our state, Mississippi!

1 down, 23,484,357 more offensives to go for the Libtards.

Weak ass leadership!

Great

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the Death your right to say it.

Well damn, how many of them are dead now? I don’t trust blanca Mississippians.... it’s a set up!
