On Monday, January 20, 2020, Americans will celebrate Martin Luther King (MLK) Day. The federal holiday, commemorated annually on the third Monday of January, serves multiple purposes. It honors the life and legacy of the activist who led the fight for racial equality, brings focus on current civil rights issues, highlights the power of using nonviolence to bring about social reform, and inspires young people to consider joining public service.

                          He wasn't a president. He was just a really good man that people respect.

                                He wasn't president. And presidents don't actually make the laws.

                                    He was NOT the president, he was a civil rights leader that was working against segregation and discrimination toward black people.
