MLK day


Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday ofRev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. The floating holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, though the act predated the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by 15 years.

  5. I really think that Martin Luther King's holiday is important because he stood up for African. I really hope that one day soon, there will have a guy who is like Martin Luther King and stand for Tibetan.
