While I believe that the Reverend-Doctor was a great leader and a great American I have trouble with the fact that we have a holiday for "him".
Stop for a moment and think.
Think about all the great Americans that have done great and exceptional things. Men and Women who have lead others, both great and common to do great things. Men who defied other governments and the conventions of their time to help form what can at times be judged to be the greatest country on earth.
Think of the scope of the intelligence and the leadership and the courage of their convictions.
Now name me one of those men who has a national holiday to solely honor him, the same way we honor The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.
