What do you say to someone on MLK Day? What companies do not observe MLK?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States that honors the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a Baptist minister, and civil rights activist who played a key role in the American civil rights movement.

The holiday is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is close to King’s birthday, January 15. While Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday, it is not a mandatory holiday for all schools in the United States.

The decision to observe the holiday is typically made at the state or local level, and some schools may choose to remain open on that day. All federal offices, including the US Postal Service, are closed on this day.

However, private companies are not required to observe the holiday, and some may choose to remain open. Some companies choose to use floating holidays instead, with MLK Day being one choice among many days of cultural significance.
