(56,582 posts)Guess what "Great Americans" had birthdays near this date?
Robert E. Lee, Jan 19.
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Jan 21.
Virginia made it more explicit. It was "Lee Jackson King" day until about 2007 IIRC.

(58,785 posts)to regress to the '80s, Lovemydog. I looked, and only @20% of Biloxi itself are black, compared to 37% (!) for MS. But they, and others who care about who and what we are, are refusing to be dragged down and making themselves felt.
