    The man dancing in the orange hat. The wheelchairs , my goodness Coretta Scott King, brought tears to my eyes!
    Stevie Wonder in 1983, when I graduated from high school, I remember MLK was not yet a holiday!
    This song stays on my mind!
    ❤Stevie Wonder

    I didn't know this history of MLK day until reading about it today, Stevie Wonder what a legend! When this was recorded, they didn't yet know if MLK would be a federal holiday, signed into law just months later after a years long campaign and this wonderful hit song to support the cause! Heard the song from when I was young but didn't understand the backstory.

    "happy birthday to you" “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Change takes a long time, but it does happen. TY Stevie for helping to make this celebration happen.
    Unfortunately as things change they remain the same. I do hope justice wins; a president leading White Nationalists starting in 2016 disgusts me.

    It’s a shame we had to work so hard for this to happen when Christopher Columbus got a holiday for nothing.
