We must Demand Equal Rights for All. This is not a Dream...

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. The floating holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, though the act predated the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by 15 years.

    I hope the kids appreciate WHY they really have the day off of school.

    there are several districts that have class today- not sure how that is possible. i know i sure appreciate having this day off and spend it planning instruction for my students to help narrow the achievement gap between my students and those in the suburbs.

    I have always respected a man with a dream. Martin had a BIG one and pushed to see some of it before his death.
    He was a good guy!
