In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) has taken the time to declare April Confederate Heritage Month.
The proclamation came two days after Reeves changed his position and issued a statewide ordering shutting down nonessential businesses and ordering residents to stay home, according to the Jackson Free Press.
Reeves proclamation says April is the month when, in 1861, the American Civil War began between the Confederate and Union armies, reportedly the costliest and deadliest war ever fought on American soil.

I am reasonably certain that Mississippi continues to celebrate the Confederacy just to rub it in black peoples faces. They call it heritage, not hate, but they lie.
And some people wonder why the South is the butt of so many jokes.
