"The holiday hours feature lets people know when a business could be closed or its hours could be different due to a holiday. Unfortunately, in the three states where Robert E Lee's birthday is recognized as well, the feature is not surfacing Martin Luther King Day as it should be. We apologize for any offense this may have caused. Our teams are working to fix this issue as quickly as possible."
The state of Arkansas debated a bill that would separate the two holidays, but it faces resistance from both state lawmakers who don’t want it changed and those who don’t want a separate holiday honoring Robert E. Lee. And, in Mississippi, the city of Biloxi experienced backlash for referring to the holiday as "Great Americans Day."
Over the last 18 months, several cities across the South, including New Orleans, have removed or renamed monuments to the Confederate general, part of an overall trend of taking down the Confederate flag and other markers following the horrific Charleston church shootings in June 2015.
