Update: Today is Martin Luther King day.
However, for you folks who might not have heard (and I'm a new informant myself as of this weekend), the south have a different name for the day: King, Jackson, Lee day. Why? Because not only do they celebrate MLK, they celebrate
Stonewall Jackson and
Robert E. Lee. Yes, that is correct.. a black civil rights and racial activist is celebrated on the same day as two confederate generals.
Now, really, who doesn't love the South? They're just so..
progressive.
