IMO, Education Not functioning in remenberence of his legacy on monday isn't right.
MLK Jr fought racial injustice so anyone could fight to pursue happiness and a stable life.
Currently, it shows that college/education is a great way to achieve just that.
So why temporarily halt a process in recgointion of someone who died so I could have the option in partaking it? Wouldn't educational institutions functioning on that day recognize his legacy more then not functioning? It's not like a lot of people take time to recognize his legacy on his birthday other then watch a documentary or something.
