Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which means federal employees and many other workers will have the day off. This year, the holiday honoring the life and legacy of the American civil rights icon also coincides with President-elect Donald Trump's Inauguration Day.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is always celebrated on the third Monday in January. It also happens to be Inauguration Day, which is always held on January 20th per the U.S. Constitution. The two typically don’t coincide, but they just so happen to fall on the same day this year.

The life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will once again be celebrated and honored Monday in events around the nation.
