I'm talking about holidays. You asked if Howard University should be required to observe a date which is not a holiday in D.C. where Howard is Located. MLK day is a federal holiday so both Howard and Washington and Lee observe it. Confederate Memorial Day is a state holiday in Virginia, though I don't think private universities are required to observe it. However, if they were required and if Howard University was in Virginia then I'd expect them to comply wiht the law. Like it or not.
The undergraduate school is apparently under pressure from some to close down for MLK day. My question was should Howard be subject to the same type demand?
