Martin Luther King Jr. Day, observed on the third Monday of January, honors the legacy of the iconic civil rights leader who championed nonviolent resistance in the fight for racial equality. Established as a federal holiday in 1983 and first observed in 1986, the day celebrates Dr. King's tireless work advocating for civil rights, economic justice, and racial harmony in America. His famous "I Have a Dream" speech, delivered at the 1963 March on Washington, continues to inspire generations. The holiday has evolved into a day of service, encouraging Americans to volunteer in their communities, reflecting King's message of unity and social justice.
