| 5. Why do we have to take days off in order to recognize someone? |
|
I've never understood that. How does not working honor someone?

| 6. Ah, yes, but then again, you go to school in Missouri |
|
MLK Day off had just started when I was a freshman (1999) at college, not much happened that time, but it steadly grew from there. Odd that it took that long to recognize at a school in Indiana, but then again, the passive racist views of many in the midwest have marginalized the holiday for years.
