Evers led the march for desegregation of public schools in his home state of Mississippi as an activist following the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board decision which ruled segregated public schools were unconstitutional.
Until last weekend, Mississippi was on the wrong side of history as one of the Confederate States of America that was governed by a state flag that still bears stars and bars representing systematic racism, oppression and slavery.
Hill struck a chord in the fanbase of Mississippi State football fans, and throughout the Southeastern Conference when he said he wasn’t going to represent the school anymore as long as the confederate flag was a part of his home state’s flag.
The Mississippi native, who led the best conference in college football in rushing last year, said via Twitter “Either change the flag or I won’t be representing this State anymore & I meant that…I’m tired.”
The Mississippi State Legislature voted to remove the Confederate logo from its flag becoming the last state to remove the racist symbol over weekend.

After more than 120 years of flying over the state of Mississippi, the Confederate battle flag is no longer a part of the state's official flag.
\"People who wanted to keep the flag couldn't ignore what it meant anymore,\" says Democratic state Rep. Robert Johnson, the minority leader in the Mississippi House.
\"You can't live in Mississippi as an African American and don't every day feel angry when you see that flag,\" Johnson says.
Johnson says economic pressure helped force the change as it became increasingly clear that the flag was a liability for Mississippi because it's widely seen as a racist symbol.
State Sen. Chris McDaniel led the fight against changing the flag in the Legislature.
Two Atlanta police officers who were fired after a widely publicized incident involving two college students are suing Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Police Chief Erika Shields for reinstatement of their jobs.
Streeter, Gardner and four other officers approached a car driven by 22-year-old Messiah Young to enforce the city’s 9 p.m. curfew.
“After review of that footage, Chief [Erika] Shields and I have made the determination that two of the officers involved in the incident last night will be terminated immediately,” Bottoms said in a news conference on May 31.
“The other four police officers who were involved in the incident were engaged in substantially similar conduct, which was also alleged to be improper, but have not been dismissed and are, by information and belief, either on paid leave or have been assigned to non-enforcement duties,” the suit states.
The papers argued Gardner and Streeter’s use of force was “was proper and in compliance” with Atlanta Police policy and state laws.
