Mississippi lawmakers vowed to replace their Confederate-themed state flag in late June. From there, more than 2,000 design ideas were submitted by Mississippians. The rules? The flag could not have Confederate imagery on it, and the words, “In God We Trust” should be featured. Voters approved a beautiful new flag.

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
