CLEAN : Mississippi flag: 'enormous pressure from sports' and church guided decision

The video discusses the controversy surrounding the Mississippi state flag, highlighting opposition from sports organizations and religious groups due to its Confederate symbolism. It explores the racial divide in Mississippi, where a 2001 referendum showed a split largely along racial lines. The flag is seen by some as a symbol of white supremacy, while others view it as part of Southern heritage. A commission is tasked with designing a new flag, which must not include the Confederate battle flag and must feature 'In God We Trust'. The video also touches on the political implications of the flag change, aiming to appeal to certain voter demographics.
