The life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will once again be celebrated and honored Monday in events around the nation.

Brevard honored Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday with a parade and other commemorations. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, also known as MLK Day, honors the American civil rights leader's birthday, although it rarely falls on that actual day. King was born Jan. 15, 1929, but the federal holiday is observed on the third Monday in January.

It’s rare for the two federal holidays to overlap, and this is just the third time in history that a president will take the oath of office on MLK Day.
