If you are a State of Georgia employee, I believe you get the day after Thanksgiving off in honor of Robert E Lee. At some point during the year, you get Confederate Memorial day too, I think.

I think it would honor the tradition of MLK better not to "celebrate" the two together.

I admire Robert E Lee, but it's too complicated to reconcile the legacies of both.
