Stevie was part of the campaign to mark the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr as a national holiday. He created this song to make the cause known. On Nov. 2nd 1983, President Reagan finally approved the creation of the holiday, & signed it into existence. On Jan. 20th 1986, the 1st official 'Martin Luther King Jr. Day' was celebrated! 25 years later, we're still celebrating!
