The Southern Manifesto was signed on a large mahogany conference table in Sen. John Stennis' office which Stennis used as his desk and referred to as "the flagship of the [[Confederacy]]." The table was used by segregationist and co0signer of the Southen Manifesto before, Sen. [[Richard Russell]] before his retirement. When Stennis retired in 1988, Biden took over Stennis' office, including the conference table. When Biden was elected vice president in 2008, Biden had the conference table moved into the vice president's residence.
