At the time I retired, no private company around here gave MLK day off. A few blacks asked us about this and we told them they could take a day of vacation.
All the government loafers got the day off.
I consider it an affront to pay so much attention to MLK and not even have a holiday for Washington's or Lincoln's birthdays. MLK accomplished a lot for the country, even though current black leaders have repudiated most of what he taught, but he does not rise to the stature of Washington or Lincoln.
"President's Day?" Bah!
