  2. Martin Luther King Day is quite an important celebration in the United States.
    Every year Americans try to remember what Dr. King made for the people by celebrating this National Holiday. First of all, all the schools close for the day and people try to remember what Dr. King believed in. Then people try to help someone on that day and to think about how they can help people around them. What’s more, in 1969 Dr. King’s wife opened the Martin Luther King Jr Center because she wanted to help to change the society.
