On This Day


Its Martin Luther King Day, that's what's on this day... Duh. Here are a few facts on MLK day and our "beloved" state of Arizona.

1987- Arizona governor Evan Mecham rescinds MLK Day as his first act in office, setting off a boycott of the state.
1991- The NFL moves the 1993 Super Bowl site from Phoenix, Ariz., to Pasadena, Calif., because of the MLK Day boycott.
1992- Arizona citizens vote to enact MLK Day. The Super Bowl is held in Tempe, Ariz. in 1996.

Good Job Arizona! R.I.P. Dr. MLK. Good Luck Mr. Obama.
