Yes, it was made a State holiday in Minnesota in 1987. But only government offices are required to be closed. School Districts have the option, but if they do not close they do something to commemorate the day.

That's interesting that they are instructed to commemorate the day if classes aren't cancelled. On Monday, I pondered whether, if I was faculty somewhere, I'd cancel class and risk having everyone stay at home and sleep OR if I'm ahem, force, my students to learn something about MLK, Jr., the Civil Rights movement in general. Haven't come to a decision yet. What are your thoughts?
