About Lee-Jackson Day in Virginia

United States
EVENT NAME:
Jackson-Lee Day (Lee-Jackson Day)
EVENT CATEGORIES:
Politics , Military
United States
Dates Active:
Begins: Jan 17, 2020
Ends: Jan 17, 2020
RESERVE TICKETS:

DESCRIPTION:

General Robert E Lee and General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson were confederate officers during the American Civil War representing the South. Both are Virginia natives and both were born in the month of January, the 19th and 21st respectively.

In recent years there has been a noted backlash against all celebrations of the confederacy and its icons. Though once a state observed holiday in Virginia, increasingly counties and cities are bypassing it. With African Americans, particularly, the tying of this event to the National Martin Luther King holiday weekend, is insulting. Lee and Jackson were slave owners and fought to preserve slavery. Until 2000, the state celebrated all three men on the same day.
