 Martin Luther King Jr. Day still isn't a thing in all 50 states, yep, even in 2024. You see, after MLK Day was officially recognized by the federal government in 1986, some states were mad mad and refused to make it a state holiday. New Hampshire didn't recognize the day at all until 1991 and didn't include King's name in it until 2000. In 1990, Arizona lost the right to host the 1993 Super Bowl after failing to make MLK Day a state holiday. And even though King's name is attached to the holiday in all 50 states, now after Utah and South Carolina got on board in the year 2000, it's not the only name. Yep, in Alabama and Mississippi, the third Monday in January is still known as King Lee Day. Just guess who the Lee is.
