Happy Lee/Jackson Day

What?
I said the same thing. Government offices, including the city offices are closed everywhere today in celebration of this little known holiday.
In fact, my daughter’s class was to visit the library today and suprise! it was closed.
What is exactly is Lee/Jackson Day? It appears to be a holiday only celebrated in the Commonwealth of Virginia to celebrate the birthdays of Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson. It is celebrated the Friday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
According to information, the holiday was created in 1889.
