Today's holiday isn't nearly exciting as yesterday's....but according to my calender, today is Humanitarian Day. It is one of three Emancipation Days of Respect which honors the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. by promoting unity, respect and remembrance.
According to what I found on the internet, the Emancipation Days of Respect are Humanitarian Day (January 15th – MLK’s Birthday), Victims of Violence Holy Day (April 4th – Anniversary of MLK’s death) and Dream Day Quest and Jubilee (August 28th – Anniversary of King’s “I Have a Dream” speech).
So, if today is Humanitarian Day, then why are the kids off on Monday? After a week off due to snow and ice, the kids should be in school Monday. Do you realize Angela will have been off school for 10 days, almost as long as her Winter break?
