Martin Luther King Jr.
Day falls on the third Monday of January each year.
It’s a day to honor Dr.
King’s leadership in the Civil Rights Movement.
In schools, we participate in special programs that teach students about his life and legacy, especially his famous 'I Have a Dream' speech.
Many communities organize service events where people can volunteer and give back.
This holiday encourages us to continue discussing racial equality and justice in America.
It’s a reminder of the work still needed to achieve Dr.
King’s vision for a fairer society.
