I wish that we could go back to celebrating Washington and Lincoln's birthdays as separate holidays, even if one of them (Lincoln) wasn't a federal holiday. I don't want to celebrate all of the presidents equally. Besides, if MLK's birthday gets its own recognition, shouldn't the first president, who also led the Continental Army that defeated the British AND lead the Constitutional Convention have his own day. One could also make an argument that Lincoln did more for African-Americans than did MLK (not taking anything away from MLK). Happy Washington’s Birthday.
