Both men sought the well-being and future happiness of their black brethren. Jackson concerned himself further with their spiritual condition, as he started a black Sunday school in Lexington, out of which several future ministers and community leaders emerged.

More Quotes from Brandon Dorsey:
Lee-Jackson Day does not receive equal treatment in Virginia with Martin Luther King Jr. Day. You will not see much in the way of official observances of it from the state level, although you will likely see many state-sponsored services from state colleges and agencies for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. You will see most of your local banks open on Friday, but they will be closed Monday.Brandon Dorsey
We will likely see many state politicians giving speeches in honor of Dr. King, but many refuse to say anything positive in regards to Lee or Jackson. Some would degrade the memory of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson because of modern race politics designed to divide people to give certain political factions an edge over their opposition.
