Best Answer

Black people are a substantial element of our society. They have developed some economic and political power. The people who run the country want them to be happy. Some of them fell guilty about how blacks were treated in the past. Martin Luther King was a leader in the black movement and was assassinated by a white man. Honoring him is a symbol for honoring all black people. Also, everybody likes a day off.
