Starkville orders removal of state flag on city property (MS)

Starkville on Tuesday joined other Mississippi cities choosing not to fly the state flag above municipal buildings, as aldermen voted 4-3 to lower the flag.
The vote mostly followed racial lines ...
Columbus councilmen unanimously approved a similar flag-removing resolution last week.
West Point Mayor Robbie Robinson previously told The Dispatch his city has never flown the flag above city-owned properties.
