Martin Luther King Jr. Day honors the life and legacy of Dr. King and the enduring impact of his leadership in the Civil Rights Movement. Observed each year on the third Monday of January, the holiday recognizes his work to challenge racial injustice through nonviolence, courage, and collective action. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing pursuit of equality, dignity, and justice, and the responsibility each generation carries to uphold the values of fairness, inclusion, and respect for all people.
