 </td>\n<td valign='top'>As reprinted in the Los Angeles Herald Examiner Su
 nday\, February 22\, 1981: The following is a partial text of remarks made
  by Stevie Wonder at this National march in support of making Dr. Martin L
 uther King ‘s birthday a national holiday on January 15\, 1981 in Washingt
 on\, DC. There were more than 100\,000 people in attendance\,”Welcome ladi
 es and gentlemen. It is beautiful that we should all come together today f
 or such an important purpose\, and I want to thank you all with all my hea
 rt for remaining here today. For even though it is freezing cold and snowi
 ng and there are jobs to be done and money to be made\, you have found the
  time\, the energy\, the necessary resources\, the heart and the courage t
 o step forward as Americans and as human beings on this day to seek a more
  full recognition for a great man and the great principles he has lived\, 
 fought\, and died for. I am\, of course\, referring to our quest to make D
 r. martin Luther King Jr’s. birthday a legal holiday.It is fitting and pro
 per that we should gather here for this purpose in Washington DC\,  the na
 tion’s capital\, for it was almost two decades ago that some of us and man
 y of our parents\, families\, friends and allies gathered for that now his
 toric occasion\, the march on Washington. Indeed\, it is fitting that we s
 hould gather here\, for it was here that Martin Luther King inspired the e
 ntire nation\, indeed the world with his stirring words and his lofty visi
 on\, both challenging us and inspiring us with his great dream. And even t
 hough he has since passed away\, the words he spoke are still as vital and
  alive and true as the day he spoke them. For the words he spoke can never
  get old or die\, or wither away\, for they spring from that vast eternal 
 ocean of great principles that have been the teachings and hallmark of all
  the heroic messengers of mankind down through the ages: the message of pe
 ace\, of basic human dignity and freedom.No assassination\, no repression\
 , no technological overkill can kill these great and classic values. They 
 live forever in the hearts of free people everywhere\, and for all time. I
 t is because he best represents these principles that Martin Luther king i
 s such a heroic figure. A man of his time. A man for all seasons. Certainl
 y\, a man America can be proud of. The depth of his compassion and of his 
 courage cannot help but uplift us and move us to a greater understanding o
 f ourselves\, and of the need to unite into a melting pot of one.Now there
  are those who say\, all well and good. Dr. king was a great man. But\, on
  national holidays we honor only presidents and great events\, why honor M
 artin Luther King? He wasn’t an elected official\, he was a rabble rouser 
 and a disruptive force in the social fabric of American life. To those we 
 say: Public holidays in the United States should be\, and normally are\, r
 eserved for celebrating great traditions in the nation\;s history and our 
 highest ideals and leaders who have shaped out common destiny. Dr. King li
 ved and died for this national’s ideals of justice\, honor\, dignity and f
 reedom. By practicing non-violent citizen acts\, he embodied the best of t
 he America political tradition with the original pilgrims of New England\,
  continuing on with the Boston Tea Party and right through the American Re
 volution. Martin Luther King and the founding fathers had more than their 
 basic equity as men in common. They were men of vision and courage. They w
 ere about the business of making a noble dream a reality and they have mad
 e our lives all the because of it. And though Dr. king was a great man\, h
 e was no saint. He was a man\, a human being. And being no less ourselves\
 , we should accept no less than what Dr. King fought for: a commitment fro
 m this nation to make available to all its citizens\, the equality of oppo
 rtunity to pursue the American dream of life\, liberty and the pursuit of 
 happiness with regard to the shackles of race\, creed or color.Those who r
 egard Dr. King as the political leader of a narrow cause or the spokesman 
 for a single group fail to share the spiritual vision of the oneness of al
 l. Injustice in any form affecting anyone was viewed by Dr. King as a thre
 at to everyone.Oppression against one group is oppression against us all. 
 His efforts reflected a moral drive to improve the life of all human being
 s. By commemorating Martin Luther King’s birthday\, we do more than honor 
 one man\, however extraordinary: we honor the profound spirit of love and 
 concern for humanity that give us life and inspires us all. The significan
 ce of his life to us and to America may be found in his acceptance speech 
 for the Nobel Peace Prize: “Non-violence is the answer to the cultural\, m
 oral and political questions of our time – the need for man to overcome op
 pression and violence. I accept this award today for an abiding faith in A
 merica and an audacious faith in the future of all mankind.” Dr. King was 
 truly a great American.So let us commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, 
 today\, and let out hearts beat to the rhythm of this march for life. But 
 how\, in fact\, can our hearts beat to the rhythm of our march for life if
  our soul cannot sing out to the sound of love. How can we sing out love\,
  if our lips do not embrace the taste of peace and harmony and unity. But 
 how can our lips embrace these great feelings\, if our hands do not reach 
 out and intermingle into a melting pot of one.We ought to have a way to ho
 nor this human being and reaffirm the ideals he lived and died for\, to ho
 nor him through a national holiday would also\, of course\, bestow a great
  honor on Black America by implicitly acknowledging him as a symbol of the
  tremendous contributions Black people have made to this country’s histori
 cal development. It would also represent another step forward in officiall
 y and symbolically embracing the lives and dreams of all the people who co
 mpose the American nation. Designating his birthday a national holiday wou
 ld create and event for all Americans\, for Dr. king was a champion for ju
 stice and liberty.So when you return to your cities\, your homes\, your jo
 bs please carry on the vigil. For this dream our dream\, goes beyond polit
 ics\, beyond oppression\, beyond mere history\, but not beyond hope or lov
 e\, for this dream shall never die”</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p> <
