City officials voted to scrap the holiday in honor of the slave-owning third president of the United States and instead adopted Liberation and Freedom Day, to be celebrated each March 3. The holiday commemorates the day U.S. Army forces arrived in Virginia in 1865, near the end of the Civil War, the Washington Times reported.

Quoting: visitor 76197297 I'm sure most of the founding fathers (and people back then in general) were. History is history and needs to be remembered for every part. |
