Change Is In The Wind: Monday’s Martin Luther King Holiday To Kick-Off Frigid Days And Nights
This post may seem a bit premature, but Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday. But along with the national holiday's closing post offices and an array of government offices and delaying the IRS' quarterly payment, it's also going to be a challenge for the holiday's MLK Parade.

A Gentle Reminder: Miss Opal Lee’s Walking Campaign Results In Juneteenth National Independence Holiday
June is sorta a ho-hum holiday month. Unlike the earlier Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Passover, St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, Easter and Cinco De Mayo, June has had the reputation of launching the blah holiday period.
