Holidays

The Battle Flag is gone, But the Statues remain in Montgomery.


From An editorial by The Washington Post calling for ending the State of Virginia's holiday honoring  Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee.


"For many whites and blacks alike, it is simply preposterous to expect that Confederate generals should continue to be regarded as objects of veneration, let alone be honored by a state holiday."

In all, eight states have Confederate holidays.
