Hello,

The Mississippi NAACP State Conference supports the Mississippi Legislative Black
Caucus' (MLBC) decision to boycott the Southern Legislative Conference held July 29,
2017. The MLBC has decided to boycott the event to send a clear message that the
confederate symbol needs to be removed from the state flag. This event is a regional
conference that could easily be held in a state where the confederate flag does not fly.

Here is a list of the caucus members who have decided to stand in solidarity against the
Confederate symbol on our state flag and have chosen not to attend the conference.

As a part of our ongoing efforts to remove the Confederate symbol from our flag, we are
asking you to support this boycott.

them and encourage them not to attend the conference.
Derrick Johnson
