Technically, the holiday is scheduled for the third Monday of January, but this year’s Martin Luther King Day witnesses a happy coincidence: it’s observed on King’s actual birthday, January 15. Here are some ways to commemmorate the life of this great civil rights leader, who would have been 78 years old on his special day.

on 1/11/2007 It is so silly to be racist about Rev Dr MLK - he only got assasinated when he began appealing to not only working-class blacks, but _all_ working class people. That's when the powers-that-be saw him as a threat, and got rid of him. Any one in politics who appeals to the masses, who would really _do_ something to change things for the working poor, gets assassinated. :(
