The kids get the day off but so does my husband. I think there would be some problems here in ATL if there wasn't a holiday.

Why not? We have all those president holidays  ;) - he's gotten more done for equality then they have.

It's one thing to write down words saying people are equal but in general most of them didn't really walk the talk or didn't enforce the words that they wrote (our forefathers).

Just my two cents worth ;)

 :thumbsup: I believe that Dr. King deserves a Holiday because he changes the course of history in this country. He helped people to  live together even though it was very impossible to many people.

I agree with ksp7653 & jcalexis. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was an icon for this country. Being a Caucasian American, I feel he was a true leader and he fought for what he believed in. I some times tell people I am the female version of him!! lol! Anyway, He does deserve to have a holiday named after him! I thank him and my kids thank him! I almost forgot I had the day off from work tomorrow...lol! Thank you Dr. MLK!!  :heart:

Absolutely, he along with others paid the ultimate price for fighting for what they believed in, i think it's also a good day to remember others who helped pave his way and those who came after dr. king

I do not think we need most of the holidays we have that are for a person in history.  But nobody asked me (well besides you lol) so I guess it doesn't matter what I think.
