Martin Luther King Day

Today, as many of you will realize is Martin Luther King Day, when governmental employees and bankers get to laugh at all of us. I got to thinking though, it seems kind of disingenuous to name today after a single civil rights leader, even one who gave his life for his cause. It also seems a bit, well, ethnocentric too. Wouldn’t it be more in keeping with everything that Dr. King worked for to call today Civil Right Day and celebrate the civil rights of all people of all races in this country?
