Can someone please help me.  I am wondering why it is we celebrate DR. Martin Luther Kings Jr.'s Bday today.  Let me explain more.  All other holidays ie Presidents day and such have a significance on the day we celebrate them, whereas DR. MLK day does not have significance to this day.  It is not his birthday, the day he gave the speech, and it is not the day of his death.  I was just wondering why we celebrate it in February and not later in the year.

We celebrate his Birthday on the monday following Jan.15 so there is a three day weekend.
May not seem right, but that is the way it is.

huhhhh, according to the federal government, the holiday observed on the third Monday in February is officially Washington's Birthday. But many Americans believe that this holiday is now called "Presidents' Day," in honor of both Presidents Washington and Lincoln, whose birthdays are Feb. 22 and Feb. 12, respectively. this holiday dosen't always fall on the 22 nor will it ever fall on the 12. what are you saying

I am a mother to 1 son, an 8th grader. My longtime boyfriend and I love to take our Tandem out and see the world. I am a news junkie. I wake up, and go to bed every night with Fox 2. I Love Kevin Steincross and the entire morning crew. Mandy Murphy makes the evening edition a true pleasure. When in my car I listen to 102.5 & 106.5. My favorite movie is: Love Actually. The runner ups: 1. Office Space 2. Saw 1, 2, 3 3. Crank 4. Fried Green Tomatoes 5. Alpha Dog Target is the only place to shop!!! **Remember when ever you are on a bike, motorized or not, put on a helmet. Your arm(s) & leg(s) will heal, but what about the most important part of your body...head??? Food for thought.
