Martin Luther King Jr. Day, commonly known as MLK Day, is a federal holiday in the United States marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which in 2025 falls on January 20th.
MLK Day is a day to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King, a civil rights leader who fought for equality and justice for all Americans. It is also a day to reflect on the progress that has been made in the fight for civil rights and to recommit ourselves to the work that still needs to be done.
