From the Feb. 26, 2016, Yahoo! News "Mississippi governor: April named Confederate Heritage Month." (Win)
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, following what the state's governors have done for many years, has declared April to be Confederate Heritage Month. But, he didn't mention slavery.
The proclamation came days before the legislature killed bills that would have either removed the Confederate emblem from the 122-year-old state flag or stripped state money from colleges and local governments that refuse to fly the state flag.
More credit to the governor for having the backbone to stand up against the racism and pc of today. I have already mentioned that flag opponents have determined they didn't have enough support to remove the Confederate emblem. But, i am sorry to see that a bill to deny state funds to colleges and local governments who refuse to fly the flag was also killed.
I have since seen a whole lot of criticism about this proclamation.
