AIT Offices to Close for Holiday
All offices of the American Institute in Taiwan will be closed on Monday, January 15, 2001, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday. This includes the Travel Services Section, the American Trade Center, the American Cultural Center, the American Cultural Center Resource Service and the AIT Kaohsiung branch office.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., an African-American clergyman, is considered a great American because of his tireless efforts to win civil rights for all people through nonviolent means. Since his assassination in 1968, memorial services have marked his birthday on January 15. In 1986, that day was replaced by the third Monday of January, which was declared a national holiday.
