The U.S. is marking Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday. But in Alabama and Mississippi, it's also Robert E. Lee Day, in honor of the Confederate general.

Two U.S. states still honor Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee on the federal holiday set aside for Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Will that change?

Mississippi officially commemorates both Robert E. Lee and Martin Luther King Jr. It's beyond time the state stops celebrating Lee, a Confederate who chose treason and human bondage over country.
