Celebrated the third Monday of each January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day was created in 1983 and signed into law under Ronald Reagan. Though it was first celebrated as a federal holiday in 1986, many Southern states grouped the day with Confederate leader Robert E. Lee, since his birthday was on January 19. It was not until 2000, 32 years after his assassination, that Martin Luther King Jr. Day was observed by every state in the Union.
