To honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., North Texas will once more hold a celebration.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a holiday that honors the birthday of the late civil rights icon.
Monday, January 15, 2024 is the day that coincides with the cherished holiday this year. The holiday is always close to his birthday, which was January 15, 1929, and because it is actually regarded a “day on” rather than a “day off,” you might be looking for ways to celebrate, educate, or perhaps volunteer in the community. His birthday was on January 15, 1929.
