Many Mississippi Black state politicians were in favour of the current flag. The flag was adopted almost unanimously in 1894 by black and white Mississippi politicians alike.

Yes, a few were in favor. But I don’t think it’s accurate to say there were “many.”

Almost? After the adoption of the 1890 constitution, the Democrats were able to oust almost all blacks from the legislature, and by 1893 there were only three blacks left.
