EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Monday. Skimm HQ is off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday and national day of service that honors the late civil rights leader — and his tireless fight against inequality and racial injustice. (For a deeper understanding of the holiday and its history, read this.) But we always want to keep you informed, so we’ve got five things to know to start your day, plus one book, one movie, and one travel destination to consider in honor of today’s holiday.
