The Mississippi state flag, adopted on January 11, 2021, represents a new chapter in the state's history. The current flag features a central white magnolia blossom, symbolizing Mississippi's rich natural beauty and heritage. The magnolia is surrounded by 20 stars, representing Mississippi as the 20th state to join the Union. A gold five-pointed star at the top signifies the state's indigenous Native American tribes.

This flag replaced the previous design, which included the Confederate battle emblem and had been in use since 1894. The change was made to create a symbol that represents unity and inclusivity for all Mississippians.
