Once again Martin Luther King Jr. Day is just around the corner

And

Once again 'Florida Sanitation Handlers' and many other Florida companies do not have the day off!

I believe that since my retirement (health), while handing out Christmas cards to, mail persons, oil or gas drivers, and Sanitation Handlers, 

I might have seem maybe three that were a 'White,Florida Sanitation 'Handlers'person' at least in Florida?

Martin Luther King Jr. Day (officially Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. and sometimes referred to as MLK Day)

is an American federal holiday marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around King's birthday, January 15.

The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.

The earliest Monday for this holiday is January 15 and the latest is January 21.

Though the holiday was not in existence at the time, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday (established 1983) is celebrated on the third Monday in January, which falls on January 15–21, instead of King's actual birth date, January 15, for the same reasons, as well as to provide additional distance between it and the Christmas/New Year’s holidays.[citation needed] 

The law relocated the date of Columbus Day to the same date as Thanksgiving in Canada. Several Canadian provinces would later establish Family Day which coincides with Washington's Birthday.
