MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Many state offices are closed on Monday because it's an official state holiday for Confederate MemorialDay.
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.
