The national observance is on the third Monday in January, by act of Congress.

In 2009, the date was January 19, and in 2010 was January 18. It will fall on January 17 in 2011.

Is Labcorp open Martin Luther King Day?

Oh, dude, Labcorp is probably closed on Martin Luther King Day because it's a federal holiday. I mean, they gotta take a day off too, right? So, like, don't bother showing up expecting to get your blood drawn or whatever. Just chill out and enjoy the day off yourself.

What did Martin Luther King do to help the black people?

He helped people by showing people that the color of skin and the shape of someone's nose or eyes didn't matter but to be judged by the content of ones character. Also, to people that blacks and whites are equal and there is no need for fighting or killing in the world because of the color of ones skin. It shouldn't matter wether you are purple, blue, pink, black or white. We are all people and that's all that matters. Discrimanation is not the answer to anything nor is slavery. So, don't treat people bad just because they are a little difrent :) Trust me I am Caucasion and an African American girl picks on me because I am White. It isn't right. I wish she would know how it felt but that's not right either. Anyways i hope that answers your question XD
