I hope that some of you were able to have Monday off for the Holiday! Here are some facts about Martin Luther King Jr.:
• Birth records incorrectly list his first name as Michael.
• King graduated high school at age 15 and got his Ph.D. in theology when he was just 25.
• The campaign for a federal holiday honoring King began with Stevie Wonder’s 1980 hit song “Happy Birthday.” The holiday was first celebrated in 1986.
