History of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
January 12 @ 7:00 am – January 31 @ 6:00 pm
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day (observed on the third Monday in January), this exhibit explores the life and legacy of Dr. King and the broader national commitment to service and social justice. Explore the history behind establishing MLK Day and its significance today.
Visitors are invited to reflect on questions such as:
- How is a national holiday established, e.g., MLK Day?
- What is the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and how might we, as individuals or communities, embody that spirit in our actions today?
- What is the budgetary cost of establishing a national holiday?
