In this Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2017, photo, Arkansas state Rep. Fred Love, D-Little Rock, center, attends a joint session of the 91st General Assembly in Little Rock, Ark. Arkansas state offices are closed Monday, Jan. 16 in observance of the the shared birthdays of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson is reviving an effort to remove Lee from the holiday. But he faces resistance from opponents who complain the move belittles the state’s Confederate heritage and from black lawmakers worried about a plan to set aside another day to honor Lee. Love said he’s unlikely to support Hutchinson’s proposal if it includes a day for Lee. (AP Photo/Brian Chilson)
