Resumo: When voters make decisions about social issues, factors including cultural heritage, religion, race/ethnicity and recent events can intersect. However, the significance of visual images, historical narratives, media presentation, and future planning should not be overlooked. This article explores the importance of state flag histories and designs in Mississippi, specifically examining the 1894 flag design that became central to the state’s identity until voters approved a new design in 2020. The state’s flag politics are discussed within a prolonged national discourse with emphasis on recent racial attacks across the U.S. This study highlights calls for reform emanating from grassroots, media, religious, athletic, economic, social, and political groups in and outside the state. The article notes that racial tragedies such as the murder of George Floyd can serve as persistent inspiration of Mississippi voters and lawmakers to address inequalities and advance democracies.

Porém, a relevância de imagens visuais, narrativas históricas, formas de apresentação e o planeamento do futuro não devem ser também subestimados. Este artigo explora a importância das histórias e designs das bandeiras no estado do Mississípi, examinando especial¬mente o design da bandeira de 1894 que se tornou central para a identidade deste estado até os eleitores aprovarem um novo design em 2020. As políticas sobre as bandeiras deste estado são discutidas no âmbito de um discurso nacional prolongado, com ênfase nos recentes ataques raciais nos EUA. O estudo enfatiza os apelos a reformas por parte de grupos de base, mediáticos, religiosos, desportivos, económicos, sociais e políticos dentro e fora do Mississípi. O artigo realça que tragédias raciais como o assassinato de George Floyd podem servir de inspiração permanente para os eleitores e legisladores do Mississípi abordarem desigualdades e fazerem avançar as suas democracias.Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa2023-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2023.n16.30971https://doi.org/10.48487/pdh.2023.n16.30971Práticas da História.
