Martin Luther King Jr.
We have Martin Luther King Jr. day off because it is the anniversary of his assassination. Schools close to honor the death of a very important person in history. He was a visionary who had a dream that all races were equal, even though this put him and his family in danger. In his famous speech, he said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Unfortunately, back then, there was a lot of racism. Luckily now, all races are treated equal.
