Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Martin Luther King Day, or Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is observed on the third Monday of January every year.
It is a federal holiday and that's why most schools and businesses remain closed on this day.
Martin Luther King Day is held in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., the famous civil rights leader who was born in 1929. |
|
|
Different parts of the world celebrate it differently. In Idaho, this day is known as Human Rights Day, in Wyoming it is known as Wyoming Equality Day and in other states, they pay tribute to Robert E Lee by celebrating his birthday
Some people confuse this day with the birthday of Martin Luther but his birthday is on January 15.
However, under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968, certain holidays, such as this one, are celebrated on a Monday to enable more families to spend time together.
Why Martin Luther King Is Such A Respectable Figure
Martin Luther King Jr earned a doctorate in theology in 1955 and was also a Baptist minister and a prominent social activist in the American Civil Rights Movement.
Some of his notable and memorable acts also include heading the 381- day protest against segregation on public transportation , initiated by Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955.
As a result of this protest , the Supreme Court declared such segregation as unconstitutional in November 1956.
He founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957 and it fought to gain full rights for African Americans in the United States by protesting non-violently.
He organized the popular march on Washington for jobs and freedom to highlight the daily struggles of African Americans in 1963 with the support of various civil rights and religious groups. |
