I too would like an explanation on the MLK reference. Your state lost Lincoln’s birthday (although 4 states still observe it as a holiday) and it was “lost” due to MLK and Columbus Day...
You’re upset at Columbus and MLK? Or MLK day because his dream has been “lost”...?

Worse yet, any mediocre president is often substituted for the remembrance of the virtues demonstrated by these two great men.
