United States federal holiday
POPULARITY
Friend, put your phone down. Quit doomscrolling. You owe it to yourself and everyone else who came before you. It's time to get in the fight, and First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth by Angélique Roché, Alvin Epps, Millicent Monroe, and Bex Glendining is a comic designed to inject some serious motivation into your social media-addled, catatonic body. The fight may be new to you, but it's been raging for centuries. That's not a despairing thought; it's an activating one, and once you stand on the shoulders of the heroes that came before, you'll find the perspective required to block the hateful from gaining any more ground than they already have. As a comic book reader, you already have all the tools and knowledge to resist fascism. On this week's podcast, we chat with journalist, comic creator, and podcaster Angélique Roché. Once approached to write First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth, she threw herself into an intense research phase. We discuss the stress and excitement of the process, and the motivation she secured in telling Dr. Opal Lee's life story. Juneteenth was only recognized as a national holiday in 2021. It's the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Day was signed into law in 1983. It never would have happened without Dr. Opal Lee and the lessons she learned from other warriors over her extraordinary lifetime. First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth arrives in comic book shops and bookstores, thanks to Oni Press, on February 10th. Make sure you follow Angélique Roché via her website, Bluesky, and Instagram.

It's Episode 222 (“the triple deuces”), and the crew kicks things off from the brand-new EC Studios Greenville branch—then opens with a very public apology for the episode dropping late (yes, including the MLK Day mix-up). From there it's classic BLC riffing on wild headlines: PBR's Godzilla-themed 99-pack, fast-food weirdness (including a mayo variation being tested), and a story about “protein powder” that allegedly turned out to be cake batter—plus the consumer health implications. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Tweet the Show: https://twitter.com/blcworld Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

Today is Martin Luther King Day. One of the issues that most concerned Dr. King - especially in the last several years of his life - was access to housing regardless of race. The book at hand examines the practice of "Redlining," a means used to exclude certain types of people from various neighborhoods. Josh Silver's book is titled "Ending Redlining through a Community-Centered Reform of the Community Reinvestment Act." The book underscores how it is not enough to pass laws with the best of intentions; those laws must be properly and carefully implemented. GB

Sorry to end the week with bad news but tomorrow, January 16th, is Blue Monday, often cited as the most depressing day of the year. Blue Monday has existed since 2005, and is based on an equation which takes into account various factors. However, its detractors criticise the idea as pseudoscience and say it is driven by money. Since the first Blue Monday equation was devised by psychologist Cliff Arnall, there have been a few different variants, but there are common elements to each. Of course you've got the winter weather, which explains why Blue Monday isn't a phenomenon in the southern Hemisphere, where January is a summer month. Blue Monday is also not well known in the United States, as it usually clashes with Martin Luther King Day. Why does Blue Monday occur in January? Black Friday, Super Saturday, Blue Monday - why do I get the feeling this is just another marketing thing? Is there any scientific evidence backing Blue Monday ?

A Unitarian Universalist Sermon for Martin Luther King Day | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald | 01.18.2026 In his sermon "The Name of Love," Rev. T. J. FitzGerald reflects on on Martin Luther King Jr.'s message for us in troubled times. Drawing from Dr. King's teachings on agape love, nonviolence, and moral courage, this UU sermon explores what it means to live with purpose when fear, injustice, and division feel overwhelming. It looks honestly at the tension between love and resistance and why Dr. King believed real love always carries a cost.

This week on CounterSpin: The website of the Kairos Democracy Project has a quote from John Lewis, reminding us, “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.” Our guest Tanya Clay House is board chair at Kairos and a longtime advocate for the multiracial democracy that the Trump White House seeks to denounce and derail — in part by erasing the history of Black people in this country. As part of that, she's part of an ongoing project called Freedom to Learn and its present campaign, called #HandsOffOurHistory. Corporate news media evince lofty principles about the First Amendment, but when people actually use it, the response is more telling. When USA Today covered activism in Seattle around the WTO, it reported that, “Little noticed by the public, the upcoming World Trade Organization summit has energized protesters around the world.” You see how that works: If you're the little-noticing “public,” you're cool; but if you band together with other people and speak out, well, now you're a “protester,” and that's different — and marginal. Whatever they say in their Martin Luther King Day editorials, elite media's day-to-day message is, “Normal people don't protest.” In 2025, there's an ominous addendum: “Or else.” We hear from Danaka Katovich, co-director of the feminist grassroots anti-war organization CODEPINK, currently, but not for the first time, at the sharp end of state efforts to silence activists and activism. The post Tanya Clay House on Freedom to Learn / Danaka Katovich on Attacks on Activists appeared first on KPFA.

Don't forget to tune in to Vatican Insider this last weekend of January, a weekend after the March for Life in Washington, D.C. My guest in the interview segment is Alveda King, a prominent figure on pro-life issues, and the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. This holiday was signed into law by President Reagan in 1983, and first observed three years later on January 20, 1986. As you know, Martin Luther King, Jr. made his historic I have a dream speech on August 28 1963, a dream of justice and dignity for the African-American community and for all minorities This past Monday, January 20, 2025, a new U.S. president was inaugurated on Martin Luther King Day, the first time that has happened since 1997. Over the years, Alveda King and I have met and shared our own dreams – dreams of peace, for a world that protects life at every moment, for a world of justice, of protection for man's innate human dignity. Several years ago, on a visit to Rome, I interviewed her for “Vatican Insider.” We had met earlier in the morning in my home and started the day with breakfast with two friends. Alveda said at one point she wanted to see the office and “sit in the chair” in which I wrote my columns and prepared my radio shows. She sat in that chair and even did a Facebook live, telling everyone she was at the ‘famous' desk of her friend, Joan of Rome! This weekend I reprise that conversation as we talk about the pro-life movement. Happy belated Jan. 22 birthday, Alveda. And thanks for your work and life!

SummaryIn this episode of the Coach On Cut podcast, the hosts celebrate Martin Luther King Day and reflect on his legacy. They discuss various topics including dietary choices, the influence of celebrities, and the recent inauguration events. The conversation shifts to serious issues such as the Naziah Harris case, child abuse, and the importance of breaking generational curses. The hosts emphasize the need for accountability, the role of faith in healing, and the significance of supporting one another in the community.TakeawaysMLK's legacy is a foundational part of American culture.Celebrity actions can influence public perception but shouldn't dictate personal beliefs.Dietary choices reflect personal values and lifestyle.Inauguration events can stir public emotions and reactions.Accountability in celebrity culture is often lacking.Performing for controversial figures raises moral questions.A job is a job, regardless of personal beliefs about the employer.Cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly relevant in today's economy.Child abuse cases highlight systemic failures in protection.Breaking generational curses requires active effort and accountability.Chapters00:00 Celebrating MLK Day and Its Legacy05:29 Celebrity Influence and Political Performances12:16 The Naziah Harris Case: A Tragic Story22:48 Breaking Generational Curses and Accountability24:34 The Impact of Trauma on Children25:42 Family Secrets and Their Consequences27:12 Protecting Women and Addressing Abuse28:54 The Importance of Healing and Therapy31:11 Faith, Healing, and Accountability34:21 Cultural Perspectives on Success and Identity39:02 Copy of LISTEN TO US ON (Video).mp4 Hosted on Acast.

‘I Debunk…Myself’—Christian Apologist Responds to Several Errors He Made When Talking to Joe RoganSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
(AURN News) — Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, marking a historic return to the White House after winning both the popular vote and electoral college, with unprecedented support from minority voters. His return to power is one of the biggest political comeback stories in modern American history. During his inauguration speech, which coincided with Martin Luther King Day, Mr. Trump specifically acknowledged the role of Black and Hispanic voters in his victory. "To the black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote. We set records, and I will not forget it," Trump said. "I've heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in the years to come," he added. Trump also pledged to work toward realizing King's dream, telling supporters, "Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor, this will be a great honor, but in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true." Back in November, AURN News reported about exit polls from NBC News that showed Trump gained support from 2% of Black voters who previously backed Biden, choosing Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris. The data also revealed Trump won 54% of the Latino male vote. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Daily Boost - Episode 5011 Are You Working ON Your Life or IN It? Host: Scott Smith Episode Description In this thought-provoking episode, Scott Smith tackles the universal challenge of procrastination with his signature blend of humor and wisdom. He weaves personal anecdotes, timely observations about Inauguration Day 2025 and Martin Luther King Day, and robust business insights from "The E-Myth" to deliver a compelling message about taking control of your life. Through engaging storytelling, Scott challenges listeners to examine whether they're truly working on their life or just being swept along by it, offering practical wisdom for those ready to stop being "crastinators" and start taking action. Featured Story Scott shares the insightful parallel between Michael Gerber's "E-Myth" concept and personal life management. Just as a plumber can get caught up in running a plumbing business instead of doing actual plumbing, people often find themselves caught up in "running" their lives instead of truly living them according to their vision. Key Takeaways - The simplest success recipe: Stand up, take a step, repeat - Being aware of what's truly holding you back requires honest self-reflection - External interruptions and others' return to routine can derail your New Year plans - Success is an ongoing journey that continues even after achieving initial goals - The importance of distinguishing between working "in" your life versus working "on" your life Memorable Quotes "The only time you get to stop standing up, taking a step, and repeating is the day you die." "Have you sat down to work on your life, or are you just buzzing around in your life?" "Stand up, take a step, repeat. That's it. That's the world's easiest success recipe." Scott's Three-Step Approach 1. Honestly assess what's truly holding you back in your life 2. Take control of your schedule instead of letting it control you 3. Regularly step back to ensure you're working on your life, not just in it Connect With Scott Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Website: https://www.faceyourpassion.com/ Special Offer: https://www.9minuteclaritycode.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

On this special episode of Shark Theory, host Baylor Barbee commemorates Martin Luther King Day by reflecting on the enduring impact of Dr. King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. Baylor shares his personal connection to MLK as a speaker of African American descent and recounts the profound experience of standing on the Lincoln Memorial steps, where the famous speech was delivered. This episode explores the themes of dreams, progress, and the significance of legacy that resonate with the power of action over mere ideals. Baylor delves into the process of transforming dreams into realities, emphasizing the need to actively pursue and build upon them despite challenges. He introduces the concept of behavioral rigidity and the importance of breaking cycles that hinder progress. Using MLK's strategic refinement of his speech as a powerful analogy, Baylor highlights the significance of iterative improvement and consistent effort in achieving one's dreams. The episode serves as a motivational guide, urging listeners to cultivate dreams with lasting legacy and impact, regardless of how long it takes to realize them. Key Takeaways: Reflect on the power of Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream and its continued relevance in promoting equality and progress. Understand the concept of behavioral rigidity and how it limits individuals from pursuing their dreams as they age. Recognize the importance of refining and iterating on ideas, much like MLK did with his renowned speech, as a path to success. Embrace the long-term commitment required to achieve dreams that hold significant potential for personal and societal impact. Prioritize having a "legacy dream" that aims to create lasting change, transcending one's lifespan. Notable Quotes: "You think about the power of having a dream, the power of taking action on a dream." "You have to actually build the dream... If that dream burns deep enough inside of you and you're willing to work on it consistently, then what happens is eventually it does come a reality." "Don't let that. Don't be another statistic. Don't be somebody who, well, I'm at this age now, so it's too late to go for my dream." "It's not going to happen overnight. His took about four years or three years to get it to where it is." "Focus on having a dream that's so big that eventually when you do hit it... it makes an impact."
Today we celebrate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Day. Almost fifty-seven years ago, on April 4, 1968, Dr. King was shot outside of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. Just the night before he delivered the famous "Mountaintop Speech." History remembers James Earl Ray as the gunman but did he act alone? Was he involved at all? Join us as we journey down one of history's largest conspiracy theories and ask...who actually murdered Dr. King? Available wherever you stream podcasts!

Today, Martin Luther King Day and the day before the reinauguration of King Ubu of the Divided States of America, is an appropriate time to revisit the life and legacy of the great Paul Robeson. Both great Americans, King and Robeson, were met with great resistance, incomprehension, and opposition in their day. While Dr. King is now justly celebrated with a national holiday, his legacy is often watered down by those, even right-wing extremists, that seek to attach their own agenda to his progressive legacy. Paul Robeson returned to his native country during the dark days of World War II. Shortly after the war ended, Robeson was also subject to incomprehension and oppression related to his embrace of Communism, which led to him being blacklisted and his passport being rescinded. Finally in 1958, after eight years of being hounded by the FBI, Paul Robeson finally regained the right to travel abroad. During the years of his blacklisting, he had effectively been unable to support himself. In thanks to his supporters following his emancipation, Robeson gave a celebratory concert on June 1, 1958 at his home church, Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Harlem. Shortly thereafter, he departed on years' long sojourn abroad. His first stop was the Royal Albert Hall in London, where he performed on August 10, 1958, the beginning of a nationwide tour across the UK. Thereafter he visited other countries as well, including East Germany, where he was particularly celebrated and revered and where, in 1959 in an East Berlin recording studio, he made a new recording of old and new favorites with his frequent collaborator Earl Robinson. Rare selections from each of these events are featured on this episode, which is enhanced with excerpts from, and commentary by, Paul Robeson on his greatest stage success, the title role in Shakespeare's Othello, a work which is distressingly relevant as the United States faces its greatest challenge in recent history. This episode is both a celebration of one of the greatest patriots our country has known as well as a warning of the pitfalls that await a nation that chooses to ignore or misrepresent those great Americans in lieu of hate-filled opportunists. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

LISTEN: On the Jan. 17 edition of Georgia Today: Mixed reactions from Georgia politicians ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday; state officials address potential problems with Georgia's new health insurance marketplace rollout; and the revival of an Atlanta Symphony Orchestra concert tradition will commemorate Martin Luther King Day.
On January 20th, President Elect Donald Trump will take the reins from outgoing President Joe Biden and make his return to the Oval Office. But this Inauguration Day is a little different than most others, because it also falls on Dr. Martin Luther King Day. We saw this as an opportunity to step back and look at King's legacy, how he's remembered, and if we'll ever truly see the progress he's envisioned. Joining us on The Common to discuss is Donathan Brown, Vice Provost for Faculty Diversity at Northeastern University and co-editor of Dream and Legacy, Revisiting King in a Post Civil Rights Era.
