This year’s inauguration will be just the second to fall on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Congress in 1983 decreed that the third Monday in January would be a federal holiday to honor civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over the intervening four decades, Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day have coincided just once. That was in 1997 when Bill Clinton was inaugurated for his second term. Inauguration Day will next fall on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 20, 2053.
