Domestic (USA) Ole Miss Removes Mississippi Flag With Confederate Emblem
The University of Mississippi has stopped flying the state flag on its Oxford campus because the banner contains the Confederate battle emblem that some see as a painful reminder of slavery and segregation.
Interim Chancellor Morris Stocks ordered the flag lowered Monday morning.
The action came days after the student senate and other groups adopted a student-led resolution calling for removal of the banner from campus.
