One of Mississippi's most prominent natives is calling for a change to the state flag.
Country music superstar Faith Hill wrote a Twitter thread on Thursday addressed to the legislature of her home state in which she calls for the removal of the Confederate battle flag emblem from Mississippi's state flag.
Hill, 52, who was raised in the small town of Star, wrote that the current flag is "a direct symbol of terror" for Black residents, who make up 38% of the state's population.
