For the third year in a row, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves quietly signed a proclamation that declares April Confederate Heritage Month, a controversial tradition that has been practised by several of his Democratic and Republican predecessors in the southern state.
The proclamation, which was not posted to the governor’s official social media channels, nor could it be found on the Mississippi governor’s website, was instead shared to a Facebook page for the Mississippi chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Mississippi Free Press first reported.
