January 18-24, 2016
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15.
While MLK Day is a US holiday, that doesn't mean we all can't enjoy the message of peace and equality that it is meant to portray. It also doesn't keep us here at WriYe from using it to theme a challenge! This year, we're continuing on with the tradition of word count crawls and you have a week to complete it.
RULES
- OBEY ALL RULES
- You must take the pubs in order without skipping any.
- You don't have to post in the original thread but it's quite nice to do so!
- The only pubs that count are the ones completed between the 18th and the 24th.
- Have fun!
