Every year, the holiday is around his birthday; this year, it’s a day later. The holiday is typically observed on the third Monday of January because it follows the guidelines of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.

As we all know, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader who fought for equal rights for Black Americans.

His “I Have A Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. is a defining moment in U.S. history that represented unity and hope for the future.
