Welcome to

As lawmakers began their 60 day annual session today, the state senate convened in a chamber with a seal that no longer contained the confederate flag. State Sen. Arthenia Joyner asked the flag be removed and the Senate voted over the summer to change their emblem. today she was pleased.
“And I’m wearing the new senate seal on my lapel, minus the confederate flag because that represents a period in history that is painful, racist, and derogatory to black people in America” said Joyner.

“So, you’re glad it’s not in front of the Senate any longer?”

“Absolutely, that’s why I pursued it” she responded

This coming weekend, a group of Confederate loyalists plan to protest the removal of the seal on the steps of the Capitol.
