The holiday is commemorated on a half dozen dates in various Old South states...in Alabama it falls today, April 26th. It is a state holiday, so all state offices are closed. WKRG, the CBS TV Station in Mobile, has a good
information page about the holiday.
I saw an online online reference that said the holiday is being called "
Confederate Heroes Day" in some places. Of course there are other extremes. CNN commentator Roland Martin recently refered to Confederate soldiers as terrorists, causing an uproar.
