[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4533768, member: 18222"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1592765633858.png"]300056[/ATTACH] I remember when Georgia made MLK a holiday replacing Robert E Lee's birthday. Robert E Lee's birthday holiday was moved to the day after Thanksgiving. Now it's listed as '[B]Georgia State Holiday[/B]' ... not surprised but this was done [U]very quietly[/U] in 2015. Somehow, the author on Wikipedia missed 'Confederate Memorial Day'. LOL [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2015/08/09/us/georgia-confederate-memorial-holiday-feat/index.html'][SIZE=5][B]Georgia renames Confederate Memorial Day, Robert E. Lee on holiday calendar[/B][/SIZE][/URL] [I]For years, Confederate Memorial Day and Robert E. Lee's birthday have been on Georgia's official state holiday calendar. Not any more. The two holidays have been struck from the official calendar and replaced with the innocuous term "state holiday." A list of [URL='http://team.georgia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2015-GA-State-Holidays.pdf']2015 state holidays[/URL] on Georgia's website proclaims Robert E. Lee's birthday on January 19, but notes it will be observed on November 27. It also lists Confederate Memorial Day on April 26 with its day of observance as April 27. A new list of [URL='http://team.georgia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2015-GA-State-Holidays.pdf']2016 state holidays[/URL] reflects the change to "state holiday."[/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1592764949374.png"]300053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1592765925520.png"]300057[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
