I have a dream...

... that some day Martin Luther King Day will be a day off for a good majority of Americans! Why is it that not all companies give this day off? My company grants President's Day off, but not MLK Day. I mean the presidents of our country have contributed much over our young 228 years of existence, but so did Martin Luther King Jr. Let's not slight his amazing Civil Rights accomplishments by overlooking the magnitude of the man who tirelessly stood up and spoke out for what he believed in, equality for all citizens. Companies please observe this holiday as if were July 4th, Memorial Day, or Labor Day.

P.S. Don't even get me started about why we celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
