The chief of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians will help design a new Mississippi state flag that does not include the Confederate battle emblem.

Republican Gov. Tate Reeves Friday announced Friday that he is appointing Chief Cyrus Ben, a retired teacher and an insurance company executive to a nine-member flag commission.

Mississippi legislators voted in late June to retire the last state flag in the U.S. with the rebel emblem that’s widely condemned as racist.
