Dallas Morning News item - January 21, 2006
This week, Texas officially recognized two holidays -- Martin Luther KingJr. Day on Monday and Confederate Heroes Day on Thursday. Should Texas still officially recognize Confederate Heroes Day?Slavery was one of the defining causes that led to the Civil War. The Confederacy was trying to preserve a way of life that was inhumane and unconscionable. Honoring their sacrifice, in an indirect way, also lends legitimacy to their cause. If we agree that the Civil War is the price we paid for national maturity then Memorial Day should be the day to remember their sacrifice.
