According to Google it’s Robert E. Lee Day

Today, according to Google, is Robert E. Lee Day. As proven in the screen shot above, Google’s desktop version is reporting the holiday not as honoring Martin Luther King Jr, but Robert E. Lee.

Mobile tests are said to be showing the holiday as Martin Luther King Jr Day. So perhaps Google is simply trying to have it both ways.

I am jealous. As a Copperhead in a red county on the West Coast, He would have been preferable. It was probably a regional thing.
