Save the Date!
Today is Confederate Memorial Day in some southern states. You know, the ones that aren’t so united.
State government offices are closed Monday in Mississippi and Alabama for Confederate Memorial Day.
In Georgia the day has been called “State Holiday” since 2015, when Confederate Memorial Day and Robert E. Lee’s birthday were struck from the state calendar. The state holiday list says the official holiday is April 26 but will be observed this year on Monday, April 24.
Mississippi even has proclaimed April as Confederate Heritage Month. “History deserves study and reflection, no matter how unpleasant or complicated parts of it may be,” sayeth Governor Phil Bryant.
Roll out the Stars and Bars and get drunk, Bubba. Your day is here. Try real hard not to marry your sister.
Thanks to Robert for the heads up.
