Mississippi

The flag of Mississippi is one of the newest in the United States, symbolizing renewal and inclusivity after a long and contentious history. Adopted in 2021, it replaced the previous flag that featured the Confederate battle emblem. The new design, called the Magnolia Flag, places a stylized white magnolia blossom—representing hospitality and rebirth—at its center on a dark blue field. It’s encircled by twenty gold stars, marking Mississippi as the twentieth state, along with a single gold five-pointed star above the flower to honor Indigenous nations that first inhabited the land. Red and gold stripes frame the edges, adding vibrancy and grounding the flag in traditional heraldic colors. Modern yet rooted in Southern identity, the design embodies a hopeful turn toward unity, growth, and a shared future.
