Florida lawmakers seek to remove Confederate leaders birthdays as public holidays

Published: February 26, 2021 11:15 AM EST Updated: February 26, 2021 6:46 PM EST A proposal is back in the Florida Senate that would end legal holidays marking the birthdays of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis, along with Confederate Memorial Day. Sen. Lauren Book, D-Plantation, filed a bill (SB 1116) earlier this month to remove the Lee, Davis, and Confederate Memorial days from a list of legal holidays on the books in Florida. The bill is filed for consideration during the 2021 legislative session, which will begin March 2. Lee’s birthday, Jan. 19, and Confederate Memorial Day, April 26, have been legal holidays in Florida since 1895. Davis’ birthday, June 3, was added in 1905.
