I remember when it used to be Presidents Day.
It wasn't. Presidents' Day is in February. We used to celebrate Lincoln's and Washington's birthday separately. Those were both in February, and we had no Federal holiday in January. MLK day prompted the switch to Presidents' Day.
Robert E. Lee's birthday was celebratec as Confederate Memorial Day. For a while in Alabama, State employees could choose to celebrate either MLK Day or Confederate Memorial Day, but they were the same day. Now it is just MLK day.
