"Karen Holt of Edwards, Mississippi, was with several people asking lawmakers to adopt a new banner with a magnolia, which is both the state tree and the state flower, and with stars to represent Mississippi as the 20th state. She said it would represent 'joy of being a citizen of the United States,' unlike the current flag."

But like most emotive symbols/symbolism, it's less controversial to
introduce the new vision before rapid destruction of the old,
still cherished by many citizens.

But retaliation toppling of statues can be therapeutic.
