Denver Media Group is proud to honor the memory and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by closing our offices on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, January 20th. We will reopen and resume regular business operations on Tuesday, January 21st, at 9 AM.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States that commemorates the birthday and enduring legacy of Dr. King. Observed each year on the third Monday of January, close to his birthday on January 15, this day serves as a reminder of his contributions to civil rights and social justice through peaceful protest.

Understanding the critical importance of timely projects and digital presence, especially at the start of a new quarter, we have ensured that support will still be available for urgent requests during the holiday. Should you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our dedicated support team.

Who Was Martin Luther King Jr.?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, was an American Baptist minister and prominent leader in the American civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. He is celebrated for his passionate advocacy for civil rights and equality through nonviolent protest and civil disobedience, influenced by his Christian convictions and inspired by the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi.

Dr. King's leadership was instrumental in the successful protest against bus segregation in Montgomery in 1955 and later as the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). His efforts were crucial in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, among other achievements. Dr. King's commitment to justice and equality culminated in his powerful “I Have a Dream” speech during the 1963 March on Washington, an enduring symbol of his dream for a diverse and unified America.

We invite you to reflect on Dr. King’s extraordinary impact as we honor his legacy and continue to strive for a community that upholds the ideals he fought for. For more on his life and contributions, click here.

From all of us at Denver Media Group, we wish you a reflective Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
