BILOXI TAKES DOWN THE STATE FLAG

If you’re traveling through Biloxi, you won’t see the Mississippi state flag flying in front of city buildings any longer.

The city has made the decision to remove the state flag, which bears the confederate battle emblem, from all city buildings.. Effective immediately.

Mississippi’s state flag design has been a controversial topic for some time now and city spokesperson Vincent Creel says that with tourism driving the economy in Biloxi, the city would rather not take part in the ongoing debate over the flag.
