Lee-Jackson Day IS Celebrated Dixie Wide

This article needs to be expanded to include the FACT that Lee-Jackson Day while not an officially observed holiday in all of the Southern States is still celebrated and observed none the less by the citizens of each State on January 19 of each year. Only Virginia celebrates Lee-Jackson Day on the Friday before MLK Day, everyone else does it on the 19th (Lee's Birth date).

For example I live in Tampa, FL and all across our area their are BBQ's and festivals to mark this Southern Holiday. My cousin lives in Atlanta, GA and they have 3 parades for Lee 7 Jackson and the Stone Mt. Park has a major event to honor them.

This article is written to belittle the holiday as a "fringe" holiday celebrated by a small group of people when its really a major Southern Holiday.

Hello? I'm looking for some feedback regarding the expansion of this topic which is currently painted with a thick coat of Yankee / anti-Southern - Southern minimalist white wash. Lee-Jackson Day is celebrated all across Dixie and even in some States that are not even part of Dixie.

Please provide feedback by March 1, 2009 or I will begin to edit this article on my own.
