I bet some of you are off today.
But did any of you remember to celebrate this past Friday?
Quote:
Lee-Jackson Day is a holiday celebrated in the Commonwealth of Virginia for the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Lee-Jackson Day is observed on the Friday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and results in the closing of state offices such as the DMV.

Don't forget to celebrate your freedoms people.
BTW, what are you all doing today since you're off? Hey, we used to celebrate a thing called Lee-Jackson-King Day.

 is right. Used to celebrate? What happened?
Oh, never mind. I can guess.
This got me wondering, what ever happened to James Earl Ray?
Meh, he's dead.

MLK day? What a joke. What an upstanding citizen.  Plagiarized his doctoral thesis & cheated on his wife every time he turned around.

None the less...still helped make remarkable things happen for the black community. I dont think it should be a "holiday" though. There have been many others like him, of all colors, that have done remarkable things for our country that we have no holiday for. IMHO
