Abstract

Idaho was among the nation's last states to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his human rights work with a paid state holiday. Given Idaho's media-made reputation as a haven for white supremacists, this delay likely surprises few readers. Ironically, however, those supremacists induced the holiday's adoption in 1990.
