Monday is Conferdate Holiday for Alabama

    MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Many state offices are closed on Monday
because it’s an official state holiday for Confederate Memorial
Day.
    Confederate Memorial Day was actually on Sunday, but Alabama
observes it on Monday. The Sons of Confederate Veterans are
planning a memorial program at the State Capitol.
    Not all state offices are closed because of the holiday.
Alabama’s two unemployment compensation call centers are staying
open. State Industrial Relations Director Tom Surtees says that’s
because Monday is a peak day for filing unemployment claims.
