Martin Luther King Jr. Day was declared a federal holiday by President Ronald Reagan. The holiday was signed into law on November 2, 1983, and it honors the civil rights leader's contributions to the fight for racial equality. The day is observed on the third Monday of January each year, close to King's birthday on January 15.
