Alabama and Mississippi celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day also as Robert E. Lee Day, causing controversy.
In Alabama and Mississippi, Martin Luther King Jr. Day also honors Confederate General Robert E. Lee, despite efforts by black lawmakers to separate the holidays.
This dual celebration dates back to the 1980s when these states combined their existing Lee holiday with the federally recognized King holiday.
The practice has sparked controversy, given King's role in the civil rights movement against the Confederate legacy.
