День Мартина Лютера Кинга

День Мартина Лютера Кинга (English. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) - American national holiday, state day off, dedicated to African American rights activist, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Martin Luther King. The holiday is celebrated annually on the third Monday of January and is timed to coincide with King's birthday 15 January. For a long time, some states did not recognize Martin Luther King Day as a national holiday and an additional paid day off, or combined it with other holidays., so King's name was not in the name of the holiday. The holiday was finally established throughout the United States only in 2000 year.
