Martin Luther King Jr. Day, also known as MLK Day of Service, highlights the ongoing commitment to civil rights, though many commercial establishments remain open.
Despite the holiday's significance, major retailers like Publix and Walmart keep business as usual, indicating a shift in cultural observance.
Public services vary widely: while mass transit operates normally, courts and schools are closed in Miami-Dade and Broward County due to the holiday.
King's legacy prompts reflection on participation and activism, even as commercial activities take precedence in modern observances of his legacy.
