MLK JR. DAY
Martin Luther King Jr. Day commemorates the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., celebrating his life and legacy in the fight for civil rights. As a driving force behind the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the 1963 March on Washington, King played a pivotal role in the passage of the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. His iconic “I Have a Dream” speech remains a cornerstone of American history.
UNT will be closed Monday, Jan. 20, to commemorate the holiday.
