Red Flag
Mississippi was the last state to actively fly the confederate battle flag within the canton of it’s own state flag. For many years, state-funded universities and some cities around the state refused to put up the flag. In 2001 a motion was put to popular vote, but in the end nothing was changed. As the issue became more urgent, with white supremacists flying not only the Confederate and the Nazi flags, but also Mississippi’s state flag, a group of Mississippians began creating a podcast to tell the story of how Mississippi is changing itself from within. We saw an opportunity to showcase the future of our state, not the past. We wanted our listeners to shape the outcome of that story. And they did. This is Red Flag.

This podcast is brilliant, I started listening to it in early 2019 and so wanted the conversation to continue! I have shared the podcast with so many friends and family. These last 3 new episodes have been at least a 150 years in the making and you helped make it happen. Thank you!
The Vote

Thank you so much for sharing the House and Senate hearing and vote for changing the flag in Mississippi. I am a native of Mississippi who now lives in North Carolina but so many people I love still love there and are effected by the vote. What a historic day! Thank you again for sharing.
Every American Must Listen To This!!

I know this podcast is about Mississippi's state flag but every American should listen to the history of the Confederate Flag...learn about cultural iconography and understand how these symbols send important (and yes, destructive) messages to all of us. As someone who wants to work to heal our racial divide, the first step is awareness. I had no idea about any of the history of this flag...the podcasters do a great job of helping the listener to understand the history, learn from amazing professors and learn about incredible civil rights heroes, like James Meredith. Thank you for this great podcast!
