In 1987, Gov. Bill Clinton signed into law Act 116, restating the statutory language that included the reference to the stars on the Arakansas flag that are a commemoration of the Confederacy.
As noted two years ago by Landmark Legal Foundation President Mark Levin, "In April 1985, Governor Bill Clinton signed Act 985 into law, making the birthdates of Martin Luther King Jr. (the preeminent leader of the civil-rights movement) and Robert E. Lee (the general who led the Confederate army) state holidays on the same day."Writing in National Review Online, Levin described Arkansas Code Section 1-5-107, which stipulates: "The Saturday immediately preceding Easter Sunday of each year is designated as 'Confederate Flag Day' in this state."
The law continues: "No person, firm, or corporation shall display a Confederate flag or replica thereof in connection with any advertisement of any commercial enterprise, or in any manner for any purpose except to honor the Confederate States of America."
