Despite asking Gov. Tate Reeves office since late March if he planned to again declare April as Confederate Heritage Month with no response, this publication just found what appears to be this years proclamation. The new document, which Reeves apparently signed on April 7, 2021, appears on the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 265 Rankin Rough & Readys Facebook page. Reeves is from Rankin County.
The proclamation does not yet appear on the secretary of states official proclamations page at press time. The most recent one on the page is dated March 29, 2021.
This writer found last years proclamation on a Sons of Confederate Veterans Facebook page rather than through official government channels as well, breaking the news at the Jackson Free Press. In 2016, that publication had broken the news that Gov. Phil Bryant had quietly proclaimed Confederate Heritage Month, a long-time tradition by Mississippi governors, Democratic and Republican, that had flown under the media radar for years.
Bryants 2016 proclamation appeared then on the website of Beauvoir, the Gulf Coast home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, which is now a museum that has long sold revisionist books about the Confederacy, as well as received state funds, and his staff then refused to return calls before the story broke. The Sons of Confederate Veterans run both Beauvoir, including a Confederate cemetery there, as well as its website.
