The Holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

                Fifteen years after Dr. King’s death President Ronald Reagan signed a bill into law making the third Monday of January a national holiday celebrating the birth and life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Dr. King is a respected man, so we choose to celebrate his good doings by  giving him a well known holiday; his birthday. There are so many reasons why we celebrate Dr. King’s birthday.  It would be impossible to name them all, but we want to name a few of these glorious reasons. People, worldwide celebrate MLK’s birthday as a holiday such as children that go to school, federal offices, post offices, and banks all across America. We celebrate this because Martin Luther King Jr. did a wonderful thing; made world peace with blacks and whites. Here is a meaningful and famous saying that has been heard many times, “Remember! Celebrate! Act! A day on, not a day off!”
