Here in Alabama, state workers today are enjoying a three-day weekend, as today is a holiday celebrating the birthday of Jefferson Davis. Yes, you read that right. In 2024, this state still observes an official holiday to honor an unremarkable leader of a failed nation who lived in Alabama for a very short time. To those with a persistent white supremacist frame of mind, this shameful episode of history is what must be celebrated, and not merely recorded as something to avoid repeating. But then, those who expect progressive, modern thought from Alabama are destined to be disappointed.
