I guess the point is, this is a national holiday for a person ... if there was a similar dude who did something to liberate jews in america, i suppose there would merit a holiday commemorating that person. I think were talking apples and oranges here. MLK is not a religious holiday, i dont think of it as an african american holiday, i think its an american holiday celebrating an amazing dude... if americans took a day off for every religions holidays we'd never be work, and then we'd be french
What about the brave Americans who liberated the whole of America from the British? MLK (from what I know) is the only person who has a national holiday in his name. One would think that someone such as George Washington is a hell of a lot more deserving.
