Confederate Heroes Day combines Robert E. Lee’s Birthday and Jefferson Davis’s Birthday, into one official holiday. May coincide with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Although not an official state holiday, Confederate Memorial Day is often observed on April 26 by historical organizations and local custom.
Confederate Memorial Day, also known as Confederate Decoration Day (Tennessee) and Confederate Heroes Day (Texas), is an official holiday and/or observance day in parts of the U.S. South as a day to honor those who died fighting for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Seven states officially observe Confederate Memorial Day: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas.
