As Monday, Jan. 17, marks the federal holiday of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, many Orange County residents enjoying their day off of work and school often forget that Congress declared the holiday as a day of service in 1994.
“Today, we honor the life, the courage, & the sacrifices of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His unwavering commitment to justice & civil rights has inspired so many & his moral leadership continues to serve as a beacon for us today,” Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairman Andrew Do wrote on Twitter.
