Although President Reagan signed the federal holiday into law sometime in 1983 (which means it may or may not technically be older than Katie Dochen), it wasn't officially observed until 1986, which definitely makes it younger than our beloved conference planner.
What's more, a lot of states didn't begin celebrating MLK Day until 2000, when Katie, a junior at Austin's Anderson High School, was already well on her way toward adulthood.
We have a dream that someday Katie Dochen will accept that she's now a quarter of a century old.
