Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It is one of only four U.S. holidays that exists to honor an individual. The other three are Washington's Birthday (a.k.a. President's Day), Columbus Day, and Christmas. Of these four individuals, three had a history of arrest: Christopher Columbus (arrested once), Jesus (arrested once), and King (arrested about 30 times). George Washington was, along with the rest of the Continental Army, declared a traitor by King George III and was therefore wanted for arrest during the Revolutionary War. He was never captured.
