“The myth of the Lost Cause does not begin or end with the Confederate monuments. The myth seeps into many other facets of state-sanctioned life. In eleven states there are a total of twenty-three Confederate holidays and observances. As of 2020, in both Alabama and Mississippi there is a Robert E. Lee Day, Confederate Memorial Day, and Jefferson’s Davis’s birthday; in South Carolina there is a Confederate Memorial Day; in Texas there is a Confederate Heroes Day. In both Alabama and Mississippi, Robert E. Lee’s birthday is celebrated on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.” — Clint Smith, How the Word is Passed (p. 146)
