Highlights from December and
what's coming up in January

December 4th - Heather McAninch and Dr. Angelia Bryant on Mid-Mornings with Amy | |
|
It's always great talking with our friends at Adanta and the Adanta Sexual Assault Resource Center. Heather McAninch and Dr. Angela Bryant stopped by the show to talk about seasonal depression and how tough the holidays can be for many people. Taking time to show each other kindness this Christmas season can help those struggling. Call Adanta at 679-4782 or 1-800-633-5599 to talk with someone if you need help. Asking for help takes strength! You can also call the crisis line anytime to speak directly with a counselor - just call 988. Thank you, Heather and Dr. Bryant!

Friday, December 22 was a special day on the show as we talked with the Morgan family - Zach, Heather, Lorraine, and Marian. We talked about their daughter and sister, Gwyn Morgan, who wrote the book Drippy, The Tale of the Sad Rain Cloud. Gwyn's book was the first book featured on the Readers to Leaders Story Book Trails at Rocky Hollow Park in Somerset! Gwyn passed away from cancer in 2022 and wanted to write a book for other kids to help them know it's okay to be sad sometimes. Gwyn's sisters told some funny and sweet stories about Gwyn on the show! Jessica Carlton with the Readers to Leaders Trail also joined us in the studio to talk about Gwyn's book. Thank you to the amazing and brave Morgan family!

January 15th - Martin Luther King Jr. Day | |
|
The history of the federal holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. dates back to 1968, just four days after his assassination on April 4th. Congressman John Conyers first introduced a bill to make King's birthday a national holiday. However, it faced strong opposition from some members of Congress who argued that creating another federal holiday would be too costly and unnecessary.
Despite the pushback, Conyers continued to advocate for the bill and was joined by Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow. She tirelessly campaigned for her husband's legacy to be honored with a federal holiday, stating that it would not only honor his memory but also serve as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for civil rights.
It wasn't until 1983 when President Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law that Martin Luther King Jr. Day became an official federal holiday in the United States. The legislation designated the third Monday in January as MLK Day, which is near or on King's actual birthday (January 15th).
While there were initial debates about whether to replace an existing federal holiday with MLK Day or create a new one altogether, ultimately it was decided that it would be added as another national day of observance.
The first time MLK Day was officially observed nationwide was on January 20th, 1986. Since then, every president has recognized and proclaimed this day as a time to reflect on Dr. King's message of equality and justice for all.
