Do you have Martin Luther King Jr. Day off on Monday?
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the third Monday every January in the U.S. "The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination," says Wikipedia. "Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed in 1986. At first, some states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000."
