    Martin Luther King was a great man.. He saw in his dream all men and women of all colors walking hand in hand as equals... Many of us walked in marches ... and then mourned him when he was assassinated... there are only three holidays that recognize individuals. There is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day for Martin Luther King, Jr., Columbus Day for Christopher Columbus, and Christmas for Jesus Christ. Of those, only one holiday is dedicated to recognize an individual who was an American citizen. That holiday for an American citizen is Martin Luther King Day. Columbus and Christ...

    ATLANTA -- A decision to use the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to make up a snow day in Georgia has infuriated civil rights leaders, who say the districts are insulting the civil rights icon in his home state.

The superintendents from the districts said they had little choice to start making up for nine days missed because of the...

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day, long a time for reflection in the civil rights movement, finds black activists looking for new ways forward after a tumultuous year. It was a year in which comedian Bill Cosby issued a blistering attack on black America's ``dirty laundry'' of semiliterate, low-achieving children who drift into crime. It was a year in which President Bush [related, bio] snubbed the NAACP but saw his percentage of the black vote go up 2 percent from 2000. It was the year when black church leaders came out strongly against gay marriage. ``The events of 2004 have finally...
