Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. The floating holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, though the act predated the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by 15 years. King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed on January 20, 1986. At first, some states resisted observing the holiday as such, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000.

The Egyptian queen Cleopatra loved purple.
To obtain one ounce of Tyrian purple dye, she
had her servants soak 20,000 Purpura snails for 10 days.
In Thailand, purple is worn by a widow mourning
her husband's death. A “purple heart” is a U.S.
Military decoration for soldiers wounded
or killed in battle.
Purple is a royal color.
Purple robes are an emblem of authority and rank.
“Purple speech” is profane talk.
“Purple prose” is writing that is full of exaggerated
literary effects and ornamentation.
Leonardo da Vinci believed that the power of meditation
increases 10 times when done in a purple light, as in
the purple light of stained glass.
Richard Wagner composed his operas in a room
with shades of violet, his color of inspiration.
