What Is the Purpose of MLK Day?
Teaching elementary schoolers about Dr. King and his legacy of non-violent protest starts with understanding why MLK Day is considered a holiday at all. The law that gave us this federal holiday dates back to 1983 when President Ronald Reagan made official the third Monday in January as the national Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. While the date itself moves, it always falls right around the civil rights leader’s birthday on January 15, 1929.
