The country music star and famous Mississippian spoke out about the state's current flag.

Native and country singer faith hill called for the state flag to be changed.

In a series of tweets, hill addressed the state legislators and urged them to make the change.

In the first tweet hill wrote to the mississippi legislature: it's time to change the state flag," "i am a proud ms girl and i love my home state.

When i think of mississippi, i think of my mom and dad, the church i grew up in, high school football, and where i fell in love with music."

Hill empathized with those who believe the state flag represents "heritage," but she also wanted them to understand the impact the flag has on others.

"i understand many view the current flag as a symbol of heritage and southern pride, but we have to realize that this flag is a direct symbol of terror for our black brothers and sisters."
