Martin Luther King Day is a relatively new federal holiday and there are few long standing traditions. It is seen as a day to promote equal rights for all Americans, regardless of their background. Some educational establishments mark the day by teaching their pupils or students about the work of Martin Luther King and the struggle against racial segregation and racism. In recent years, federal legislation has encouraged Americans to give some of their time on this day as volunteers in citizen action groups.

As a general rule, adults with a cold will be able to infect others one day before symptoms appear, and up to five days or so after becoming sick. 

Infants and children are able to transmit these viral infections for seven days or longer. The precise number of days for transmission can vary from person to person, and also depends on the length of the illness.

Those in poor health tend to get sick more easily. Children are also more likely to catch (and transmit) colds.

Cold viruses, abundant in nasal secretions, are mainly transmitted via hands.  When you blow  our nose, touch your face or wipe your eyes, the virus transfers to your hands, and then to whatever or whomever you touch.
