Not an official holiday or anything but I was reading that today, April 4, was the anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. King was assassinated 49 years ago on April 4, 1968. A sad day in the history of our country.
Found an interesting story regarding some of the last moments of King's life, etc.:
