Subject: Letters Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 13:16:51 -0500 From: Armond C Simmons Organization: SIMMONSPORT To: Clarion Ledger Commission chairman of a 17-person state commission who wants to propose a redesign of Mississippi's state flag, former Gov. William Winter, speaking for the commission says, "Our task is to sift through the rhetoric and work toward a common ground solution so that our flag and coat-of-arms are truly representative of the heritage, history, diversity and beauty of our state." He should have added, "as prescribed by the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton". I don't think that I have ever witnessed such prostrate, cowardly submissiveness to PB (Political Blackness). I'm embarrassed for my forefathers.
