The holiday lands on the third Monday of January, near the January 15 birthday it honors, and since 1994 it has doubled as a national day of SERVICE. Most classrooms spend the morning on the 1963 SPEECH and the MARCH on Washington, and this word puzzle picks up the vocabulary that lesson leaves behind: BOYCOTT, JUSTICE, EQUALITY, and the NOBEL prize that came in 1964.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the holiday not on January 15?
Federal holidays are set to Mondays so they create a long weekend. The law fixes it to the third Monday of January, which lands somewhere between the 15th and the 21st.
What does the word BOYCOTT refer to here?
The Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 to 1956, a year long refusal to ride segregated buses that became the movement's first major victory.
