:dunno: no comment. Although, in many southern states this is techinically a combo holiday becasue people used to officially recognize R.E. Lee's birthday on Jan. 19. When MLK Day started to become recognized as a holiday several states merged them into the same day but they do not generally advertise the R.E. Lee component for PC reasons.

As a follow up, Tennessee categorizes R.E. Lee's birthday as a day of special observance and not a holiday. The Tenneessee Code Annotated provision reads:

15-2-101. Additional special observance days.

Statute text
Each year it is the duty of the governor of this state to proclaim the following as days of special observance; January 19, "Robert E. Lee Day"; February 12, "Abraham Lincoln Day"; March 15, "Andrew Jackson Day"; June 3, "Memorial or Confederate Decoration Day"; July 13, "Nathan Bedford Forrest Day"; and November 11, "Veterans' Day"; the governor shall invite the people of this state to observe the days in schools, churches, and other suitable places with appropriate ceremonies expressive of the public sentiment befitting the anniversary of such dates.

While the third Monday in Jan. is a legal holiday, MLK day. T.C.A. 15-1-101.

My pinewood derby cars always sucked. They were super slow. You don't need pointers from me.
