    Faith Hill, a Mississippi native, urges state lawmakers to change its flag: It’s ‘a direct symbol of terror’

    Faith Hill is calling for change in her native state Mississippi.

    What We Know:

    • The country superstar, 52, took to her Twitter on Thursday to urge the state’s legislature to vote for a new flag that reflects the citizens of today. Currently, there is a Confederate emblem located on the flag, which has led to many citizens and officials in the Southern state pushing for a replacement.
    • “To the Mississippi legislature: It’s time to change the state flag. I am a proud MS girl and I love my home state. When I think of Mississippi, I think of my mom and dad, the church I grew up in, high school football, and where I fell in love with music,” she wrote.

    • She continued in a series of tweets: “Now, it is time for the world to meet the Mississippi of today and not the Mississippi of 1894 (when the MS legislature voted on the current flag). I understand many view the current flag as a symbol of heritage and Southern pride, but we have to realize that this flag is a direct symbol of terror for our black brothers and sisters.”

    Hill has urged lawmakers to vote against the current flag on Friday, stressing that the state’s symbol should represent “ALL of the citizens of Mississippi”.
