Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the third Monday of January, falls near his birthday, January 15, 1929. The Baptist minister led the civil rights movement with nonviolent protest - the Montgomery bus boycott, the March on Washington, where he gave his "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963 - and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He was killed in Memphis in 1968.

It became a federal holiday in 1983, first kept in 1986, and is also kept as a national day of service.
