Why We Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is considered an American federal holiday, which is dedicated to Martin’s birthday. It is celebrated on the 3rd Monday of January every year. Early Monday Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls on January 15, and the last – on January 21.

The king is the main representative of non-violent activism-movement for civil rights. He protested against racial discrimination at the state and federal level. After his murder, the society decided to legitimize the federal holiday from 1968. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan signed a law approving the Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This fact was first observed 3 years later. It was first celebrated in 2000 in all 50 US states.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a new federal holiday in honor of promoting equality between all Americans, regardless of their origin. Some schools teach students to fight against racism. Also, the holiday is combined with Civil Rights Day in Arizona and Idaho. The holiday is celebrated with processions through the streets of cities.
