The DZAA would like to wish all of our Alumni and their families a very happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. First observed in 1986 (although it didn’t hit full national observance in all 50 states until the year 2000), this national holiday honors the man who rallied the nation for non-violent activism in the civil rights movement. As we celebrate this holiday, let’s remember the man for whom the holiday is named and the rights and equality of which he dreamed.
