Flaga stanowa Missisipi
Mieszkańcy stanu Missisipi zagłosowali za przyjęciem flagi "In God We Trust" jako oficjalnej flagi stanowej Missisipi w referendum 3 listopada 2020 r. Po oficjalnym podpisaniu ustawy przez gubernatora Tate'a Reevesa w dniu 11 stycznia 2021 r. stała się oficjalną flagą stanową[2][3]. Flaga zastępuje poprzednią wersję, która została wycofana 30 czerwca 2020[4] z powodu zawartej w niej flagi Konfederacji, uchodzącej za symbol rasistowski[2].
Poprzednie flagi
Wygląd pierwszej flagi Missisipi z czasów wojny secesyjnej częściowo nawiązywał do trzeciej z kolei flagi Konfederacji. Drzewo magnolii nawiązywało do przydomka ,,stan magnolii". Jedna gwiazda w kantonie nawiązywała do idei wyższości władz stanowych nad federalnymi.
Flaga obowiązująca od 1894 r. zawierająca w kantonie bojową flagę CSA, uznawaną przez pewne grupy za symbol rasistowski, była przez wiele lat przedmiotem kontrowersji, aż została zmieniona w 2020 roku, na fali ogólnokrajowych protestów.

The state flag of Mississippi, created in 2020 and adopted in 2021. Known as the "New Magnolia", it was the final design selected by the Commission to Redesign the Mississippi State Flag in 2020.
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

Flag of Mississippi in the late 1990s. Until about 1995 or 1996, there were no specifications as to where the stars should be placed, what their size should be, what direction they should point or if the canton should be fimbriated. In 1995 or 1996, Governor Kirk Fordice sent a memorandum, prepared by Clay Moss, to every manufacturer which regularized the format of the canton. This was the first time that so high an official sent such regulations. Officially, the current flag of the State of Mississippi should have a fimbriation and the stars should point towards the top of the flag. The fimbriation should be the same width as the white bordering the canton (about 1/5 or 1/6 of the width of the blue bars that make up the saltire).

Flag of Mississippi January 26, 1861 to circa August 22, 1865. It remained the unofficial flag until 1894, when the current flag was adopted. According to Clay Moss, Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Vexillological Research Volunteer on June 21, 2015 at the Flags of the World website, this flag is likely a post-war flag used by United Confederate Veterans units, as it does not conform to the 1861 language describing adoption of a new secessionist flag: "A Flag of white ground, a Magnolia tree in the centre, a blue field in the upper left hand corner with a white star in the centre, the Flag to be finished with a red border and a red fringe at the extremity of the Flag."
