Jefferson Memorial plan would honor his birth with new holiday
A Thomas Jefferson Centennial commission meeting at the University of Virginia urges adding a national holiday on April 18 to honor Jefferson, preserve Monticello, and create a Jefferson shrine in Washington. The effort links Jefferson with Washington and Lincoln as national holiday presidents and promotes restoration and donations to Monticello with artifacts and letters from Jefferson.
