Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday, observed on the third Monday in January each year, is a federal holiday in the United States that honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a prominent civil rights leader and advocate for equality and justice. It is a day of remembrance and reflection on Dr. King's tireless efforts in the struggle against racial segregation and discrimination. The holiday encourages individuals to participate in acts of service and civic engagement, in line with Dr. King's principles of nonviolence, civil disobedience, and social change. Many communities organize events, such as parades, lectures, and volunteer opportunities, to commemorate his contributions and to promote the values of equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Idaho Human Rights Day is a day when we celebrate the importance of respecting the rights and freedoms of every person, regardless of their background, religion or status. On this day, we emphasize the indispensability of equality and call for solidarity in the fight for the rights and dignity of everyone. Idaho is proud of its diversity, and this day serves as a reminder of the importance of human rights in building a just society.
