The event is planned to start at 2 pm.
According to a Facebook page put together by the organizers:
It’s time to take a stand Mississippi, Our voice and vote have been ignored by our Mississippi government, For those who feel the need to make their voice heard I would love to have you stand by me Friday July 3rd at the downtown courthouse.
According to Smith, over 100 people have shown an interest in the event after it was planned following the vote in the Mississippi legislature to change the Mississippi state flag.
“This was organized after the vote to change our beloved state flag. The People’s vote was silenced and I believe that it was wrong of our senator’s to not give the people a voice in this matter. I believe we should of had a vote like they did years ago,” Smith said.
According to Smith, no specific organizations are involved, it’s for people of the community to speak there mind on the flag change.

Sorry but I can’t make it. I’m in Tallahassee and only come up the first of each month. Maybe we can schedule something around that time because I would really like to be there. Also maybe we can get together and form a group and go to Jackson and make our voices heard. Hope you have a wonderful turnout. We have to take a stand because our politicians are scared. Please keep me informed. God Bless Yal!!!!
