Declare September 27th as Hiram Revels Day in Mississippi.
Mississippi House Bill 1080 declares September 27th as Hiram Revels Day. This day commemorates Hiram Revels, the first African American to serve in the United States Congress, representing Mississippi in the Senate during the Reconstruction era. Revels Day is a day of recognition and observation, not a legal holiday. The bill amends the Mississippi Code to include this new observance alongside other recognized days.
