Robert E. Lee also honored on King Day

I bet this will piss off Sharpton & Jackson

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - While the nation honors the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, three states celebrate another man as well.

In Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi, the slain civil rights leader shares a state holiday with Robert E. Lee, commanding officer of the Confederate Army.

The two figures seem to coexist in the very fabric of the Arkansas' capital city, where streets bear each of their names.

Robert E. Lee was around long before MLK. So Arkansas puts both holidays together, big deal.

No one was ticked off when Washington and Lincoln's birthday were put together to make President's Day.

If the Reverends Sharpton and Jackson have a problem with Robert E. Lee's birthday being celebrated, too damn bad.
