Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has signed a proclamation declaring the month of April "Confederate Heritage Month" in his state. The signing was first reported by the Jackson Free Press.
The proclamation does not appear on the State of Mississippi's website, the alternative weekly reports, with other proclamations, such as those about emergency inclement weather, but is posted on the website of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which is against changing the Mississippi flag to remove the Confederate battle flag.
Clay Chandler, director of communications for Gov. Bryant, confirmed that the proclamation had been issued.
