Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. A nationally recognized federal holiday in the United States of America. MLK Day was voted into existence by President Ronald Reagan on November 2, 1983, and it was first observed January 20, 1986. It is recognized by the government on the third Monday of every January—on or around Dr. King’s birthday. That great day, in which our nation recognizes the civil rights achievements of Dr. King was celebrated Monday of this week. As with his birthday (last week), many players took time
