MS flag removed from Avenue of the States at DNC
The Mississippi state flag will no longer be featured as a part of the Avenue of the States on Philadelphia’s Broad Street erected for the Democratic National Convention.
The flag was taken down Monday afternoon by the city’s police department after a group of roughly 50 protesters sat in a roadway shouting for its removal, the Associated Press reported.
In video of the removal, cheers can be heard as the flag is taken off the lamp post.
