Thus this flag can represent Southern and African Heritages simultaneously. Nonetheless, eastern Congo keeps changing her flag every few years and Somalia is yet to settle down. The white star on Blue is and was a symbol for the Heart of Africa. Thus if used with a New Mississippi flag it can have multilateral meaning for the observer to hold nearest to his or her heart: as to represent Dixie and represent the Heart of Africa.

Thus you can fly the first jack which has seven stars or the later jack— that is basically the same current flag. Keeping it ambiguous, will let people and communities have which ever one they want. Effectively Mississippi can having their 'pecan pie' and eat it too...so to speak. You could even add, the seven stars represent the seven southern states (of the 48 united) are supposed to honor their African-geographic latitude/heritage? Since only that seven are totally south of Europe.Maddishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17851887092757833504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728270074400333925.post-52175340506055957012019-04-04T22:59:57.812-04:002019-04-04T22:59:57.812-04:00I suggest not changing the flagI suggest not changing the flagAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728270074400333925.post-54242105586576928792018-11-02T20:57:27.935-04:002018-11-02T20:57:27.935-04:00It's not a moon.

Not sure what the design will be, but I'm excited to see what happens. I really do not like the 22 starred meatball design. <br /><br />Thanks for sharingMaddishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17851887092757833504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728270074400333925.post-59934580767048734332015-10-20T16:09:12.584-04:002015-10-20T16:09:12.584-04:00There seem to be redundant, I would suggest that ...There seem to be redundant, I would suggest that either the Magnolia, or crossed la cross stcks such as are seen in the Choctaw seal would reflect Mississippi culture much more originally.<br />Linde Knightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856372022085252106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728270074400333925.post-59850349380166030432015-10-20T16:02:04.361-04:002015-10-20T16:02:04.361-04:00There seem to be redundant, I would suggest that ...There seem to be redundant, I would suggest that either the Magnolia, or crossed la cross stcks such as are seen in the Choctaw seal would reflect Mississippi culture much more originally.<br />Linde Knightonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856372022085252106noreply@blogger.com
