As you soak in the beauty of your three-day weekend (or simmer in a pool of pure hatred for those that are off) take a moment to remember the man who made it happen.
A few interesting facts:
- Ronald Reagan opposed the holiday, relenting only when Congress passed the bill with a veto-proof margin.
- South Carolina was the last state to approve MLK Day as an official state holiday, doing so in 2000. They must like working on Mondays.
So enjoy these Top Ten MLK Quotes and have a great, long weekend!
