Martin Luther King day
According to the United States Code, George Washington's birthday is an officially recognized federal holiday. So, stop the complaining about how "MLK day is the only individually named holiday", because it's just not true.
Now, one could argue that without the actions of Abraham Lincoln, Dr. King would not have been able to do what he did, and therefore Lincoln also deserves a day of his own.
However, one can also argue that the actions Lincoln took to start the Civil War were totally Unconstitutional and illegal, and that the U.S. government has been illegitimate ever since.
