We've lost sight of why we get this as a holiday. Kids get a day off from school, post offices and such, close, It's just another day off for many especially in the past two years.

I am not American but I remember Martin Luther King and how he stood up for the rights of all people regardless of colour or creed. It is a good thing to celebrate his greatness so that younger people will know about his accomplishments.

MLK is a good day for all people. He did a lot for Black Americans and civil rights for them.
