This isn’t the first time Kirk’s words have appeared in large print across America. In September, supporters in DeSoto County, Mississippi launched what they called a countywide effort to honor the late conservative activist’s legacy.
As noted in a DeSoto County News report, the first billboard went live on Interstate 55 near the Landers Center. Unlike the billboards in Michigan, however, the signs in DeSoto County were simple memorials for Charlie Kirk.

Organizers told local reporters they wanted to ensure the activist’s message continues to resonate after a city board declined to formally name a street after him.
At the time, community organizer John Williams said, “What the Hernando Aldermen rejected, the people of DeSoto County and America are embracing.”

The Mississippi billboards, and the ones now in Michigan, suggest that a coordinated effort among conservative supporters is indeed active today, and it is aimed at spreading Kirk’s message nationwide.
