MLK Day is a national holiday in the United States that honors the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, close to his birthday on January 15th. Dr. King is remembered for his role in advancing civil rights through nonviolent civil disobedience. MLK Day is a federal holiday, with schools and government offices closed, and many businesses closed as well. It is a day for people to come together to celebrate the progress made towards civil rights and to commit to working towards a more just and equal society.
