Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the third Monday of January each year. The annual King Holiday Observance is a time that we celebrate, commemorate and honor the life, legacy and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ironically enough in 2025, there will be a different celebration being observed in conjunction with MLK Day, the Inauguration of Donald Trump.
Many may say WTH!! While, Bernice King the youngest daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has a different perspective on it.
During an interview with The Independent, Bernice King shared her opinions on Donald Trump’s inauguration being on MLK Day.
“I’m glad that if it was going to happen, it happened on the King holiday because Dr. King is still speaking to us,” “We cannot retreat or recoil,” “We have to commit ourselves to continuing the mission of protecting freedom, justice, and democracy in the spirit of my father.”
Tell us how you feel about Donald Trumps inauguration being on MLK Day 2025.

Absolutely not true. I really wish that people would stop using my father to support fallacy. https://t.co/yByOqt4JV2 pic.twitter.com/OWsSsppACv
