Lawmakers in Arkansas rejected a proposal to change the meaning of a star on the state flag that honors the Confederacy
Lawmakers in Arkansas voted down a bill that would have removed Confederate symbolism from the state's flag.
Arkansas' flag features four prominent stars, with three lower stars representing Spain, France, and the United States -- three nations to which the territory belonged at different points in its history. A single star above the word"Arkansas" on the flag symbolizes the Confederacy, per bills passed in 1923 and 1924.A new bill would have enshrined that star as a symbol of the Native American tribes that occupied the land for centuries before Europeans arrived.
