Did you know some states celebrate Robert E. Lee day the same day as Martin Luther King Jr Day?

Seriously, this is a big what the fuck to me. I just heard it on Rachel Maddow tonight. I generally don’t watch her, but my husband happen to put her show on tonight and I could not believe what I was hearing.
I figured maybe it was a very old state holiday and just hadn’t been taken off of the books, but when I googled to look it up that was not the case for the most part.
I just cannot believe it! Not only do they honor this guy, but on the same day as MLK?! I just CAN’T EVEN…
