BREAKING: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has signed a bill to remove the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag.
At the signing ceremony on Tuesday evening, Reeves said the law would "turn a page" for Mississippi, adding: "This is not a political moment to me but a solemn occasion to lead our Mississippi family to come together, to be reconciled and to move on."
Reeves acknowledged that while some aren't in favor of the change, those who "fear a chain reaction of events erasing our history," the state needs to find a "better emblem for all Mississippi."
A nine-member commission will be established to present a new state flag option by Sept. 14, and the public will vote on it on Nov. 3. The new flag is not allowed to include a Confederate emblem and must include the words "In God We Trust."
The Confederate "stars and bars" has been part of Mississippi's flag since 1894. It's the only remaining state flag that includes the emblem.
