Is this really a thing? I just talked to a friend in South Carolina who says he gets Friday off work because it's Confederate Memorial Day.

Nope. Your friend is a liar, and you have terrible judgment in relation to those you associate with IRL.

Never heard of it. Your friend must be full of shite.

I had last Monday off for it. There was also a thread on here about it. Do some research.

They celebrated it on Saturday at the statehouse. It was absolutely not white trash as hell....

Wait.... wasn't ... actual Memorial Day started after the Civil War as a means of honoring confederate AND union dead?

Confederate Memorial Day was started a few years before Memorial Day. Memorial Day actually copied Confederate Memorial Day.

It's on MLK day in AR, I think.

True confederates ( not racial, political,or belonging to any other label), don't need anybody to say " take a holiday" .
You are already in the trap,and all exits are closed.

MS state employees have the day off for this. I used to love this random-arse holiday when I was on the public dole.

The highway patrol office in Starkville had a sign that said, "closed for martin Luther King and Robert e. Lee day."
