regionally it is a holiday in some parts, but i don't think it well ever be a national thing. (and i'm not sure if it should be) like in the valley, where literally there are no african american students, schools are open on MLK day. they do washington, and presidents day (sometimes) and then there are some locations where cesar chavez has a day. it's rare, but it happens.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown
