"When Did Martin Luther King Become The Most Important Person In American History?..."

More than that, how about Jesus Christ?
MLK is now the only singular person with a US holiday!
Take Jesus Christ....
---- 1) We used to celebrate Jesus' birthday (christmas), but now it's called Winter Holiday.
---- 2) We used to celebrate the Holiest time of the year for Christians (Easter), but now it's never celebrated.

We used to celebrate both George Washington's and Abe's birthday, but now it's called President's Day (which includes Klintoon's).

So, how did MLK become the GREATEST?????

If you dont celebrate these holidays its because of your own choosing. Every other Christian celebrates them without any difficulty. Apparently, you are just pissed that they are government sanctioned holidays. Since when is government acceptance of your holidays necessary before they are special for you.
