Why “All King’s Day”?

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States holiday marking the birthdate of the ReverendDoctorMartin Luther King, Jr., observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King’s birthday, January 15. It is one of three United States federal holidays to commemorate an individual person, yet it os not celebrated universally across the country.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977; middle name sometimes written Aron) was an American singer, actor, and musician. A cultural icon, he is commonly known simply as “Elvis,” and is also sometimes referred to as “The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll” or “The King”. He currently has no holiday.

Martin and Elvis both share birthdays so close to each other, that they should both be celebrated together-”All King’s Day”. It should be obvious that both Northern and Southern states win in this compromise.
