...Lizza (from The New Republic) also resurrected the stories about Allen hanging a Confederate battle flag in his home and a noose in his law office. He reported that Allen, like many Virginians, opposed placing Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Lee-Jackson Day. He joined a "Richmond social club with a well-known history of discrimination" -- which could describe many Southern organizations, whether or not they discriminate today...

I'm just assuming this, but I'd put a shiny nickel of the "Richmond social club" being the CCC.
Of course this is probably even worse than my 730am foggy memory. This position of Allen's could be construed to mean he didn't want King's name to "tarnish" Lee or Jackson.
