"A commissioner in Shelby County, Tennessee is calling on lawmakers to rename Presidents’ Day because she consider it to be a racist holiday.

Commissioner Henri Brooks, who is black, sponsored a resolution titled “Racial Exclusion and Humiliation.” The resolution would rename Presidents’ Day to “Friends and Employee Holiday.”

The resolution read: “Recognizing and honoring all Black enslaved persons bought, sold, and bred for profit by United States Presidents; and who built the White House itself including most other major buildings in the 18th century United States, such as Philadelphia’s Independence Hall, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and James Madison’s Montpelier.”
