A Day of Service — many Americans volunteer in their communities. King's "I Have a Dream" speech (delivered August 28, 1963) is widely replayed. Educational events about civil rights. Marches in major cities including Atlanta (King's birthplace) and Memphis (where he was killed).
Federal holiday. Federal employees, banks, schools, and post offices closed. Many private businesses operate normally.
