June 22nd, Mississippi State Running Back Kylin Hill tweeted out a response to Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves who was hemming and hawing about a proposed change to the state flag.
Three days later a consortium of players and coaches from both Ole Miss and MSU were in the state capitol to lobby legislators on a change to the flag, and another two days later a bill passed the Mississippi House, and a final vote is expected today.
In less than a week a star running back affected deep change in the state he was from, and a state with a pretty deep and troubled history with race relations.
