Columbus 5th Mississippi city to lower state flag

Without state action, several Mississippi cities have, in recent weeks, taken local action to remove the state flag from public grounds.

Five cities have taken down the state flag: Grenada, Magnolia, Hattiesburg, Clarksdale and, most recently, Columbus, which removed all state flags from city property Wednesday.
