3:01Now PlayingWhen George Washington died in 1799, the anniversary of his birth became a day of national remembrance.
It was the first federal holiday to honor a single person's birth date. This would not happen again until Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday received the same designation in 1983.
The Uniform Monday Holiday Act in 1971 made the third Monday of February a time to celebrate each of the 45 individuals who have served as Commander in Chief.
The most powerful men in the nation's history and the caste of people who were affected most by their inaction and moral dilemma over issues ranging from slavery to voting rights.
All this and more on “Prime.”
