George Washington is not important enough to have his own holiday but MLK is. George Washington has to share his holiday with Jimmy Carter and LBJ.
I agree with your post, and would like to add to it.
Is there still a Columbus Day celebrated? If GW doesn't deserve one, why does he?
Also, MLK was not the only civil rights leader, why does he deserve a holiday to himself? because he was a Socialist?
Myself, I prefer to celebrate MLK day with my father. It's his birthday too!
Maybe we all can celebrate my father's birthday?
