Ole Misc.: Hugh Freeze, Archie Manning sign letter calling for state flag change

Good on Hugh Freeze, who continues to be an outspoken proponent for changing the Mississippi state flag. Freeze joined Archie Manning, Ross Bjork, Mike Bianco, Andy Kennedy and a who's who of Mississippi celebrities in signing a letter petitioning for the removal of the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag. The letter, which ran as a full page ad in Monday's issue of The Clarion-Ledger, calls the flag "a symbol of a war fought to preserve slavery and to advance white supremacy" and was also signed by John Grisham, Morgan Freeman, Jimmie Buffett, Jim Barksdale, Boo Ferriss and more.
