We are wishing our clients, family and friends in the United States a happy Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday on this 21st day of January, 2013. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American clergyman, activist, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience. King has become a national icon in the history of American progressivism.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. federal holiday in 1986. This day falls on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King’s birthday, January 15. Hundreds of streets in the U.S. have been renamed in his honour. A memorial statue in Washington, D.C. was opened to the public in 2011.
We take this day to remember such a brave and outstanding individual. Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day everyone!
