Martin Luther King Jr. Day is recognized on Monday, Jan. 15, 2024. While the holiday is always celebrated on the third Monday of January, this year it will fall on King's birthday.
Legislation to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day was initially introduced a mere four days after his April 4, 1968 assassination, but it wasn't until Nov. 2, 1983 that President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law. Since then, the third Monday in January has been a federal holiday to commemorate the civil rights leader. The holiday has been recognized in all 50 states since early 2000.
The holiday honors the life and work of Dr. King, and allows time for Americans to reflect on the principles of racial equality and nonviolent social change which he espoused.
It is also the only federal holiday set aside as a national day of service, meant to be "a day on, not a day off," according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
