Today is a special day as we memorialize a crucial figure in history, Martin Luther King Jr. The day was started on November 2, 1983 when President Ronald Reagan signed a bill making it an official federal holiday, and it is held the third Monday of January every year. This is because King’s birthday was on January 15, 1929 and the date around the time is usually close to it.
