People I work with also see it as 'another day off WORK'. You'd think older people would know more about him, but it's just grade school all over again.

I really can't say I know a whole lot about him myself. I know he wanted to end segregation (separating people because of their skin color) and to prevent anyone of a certain race looking down on another person of a different race. I wish we had more people like him.
