I'm the one who started this page,and I just want to know who worked on this page. answer whenever you can.W.S.1007( Wolfscout1007 ( talk) 02:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC))

This article seems incomplete without at least the mention that the one fact cementing any association with MLK day. Many people in the Southern U.S. do not feel comfortable taking off of work to celebrate the life of a historical figure for whom, by choice, they have no love lost, as it were, and with whose political purposes and religious beliefs they, in no uncertain terms, have nothing in common. They do not, however, wish to miss a paid government holiday. Whether celebrated on the same day, as it is in Arkansas, or not, Robert E. Lee day provides a solution for them. [1] In addition, it serves as a means of communicating their socio-political viewpoint in a way that is politically acceptable: any connotations either politically incorrect or improper are, by common convention, omitted from the discourse, even as this very fact, though salient, was heretofore elided from the main page of this entry, and perhaps may be again, as I am beginning to think that once I source it (as it stands I know it from personal experience) the foregoing, minus this comment, is good enough mention. I originally logged in to ask that question. ---- Johanna Faust 09:55 March 30 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johanna faust ( talk • contribs)

Is it alright if I add information stating that Robert E. Lee Day is still observed in Tennessee? MagicatthemovieS ( talk) 21:07, 12 July 2019 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS
Georgia still celebrates this day as well. Under Gov. Kemp, the name was dropped from executive orders, but the date is still a holiday. Here is an example from the state official holiday list for 2021. http://team.georgia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/2021-State-Holidays-08.17.20.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:18F0:CD00:108B:E4A8:3404:DFB5 ( talk) 21:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm white and think this is dumb to remember a guy that hated skin color and wanted to keep slaves. 😒 2600:6C40:2D3F:63C4:DCA4:8823:B668:35D9 ( talk) 23:07, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
