VIDEO: THE DEFINITION OF GREATNESS VIDEO: THE DEFINITION OF GREATNESS Print Celebrated on the third Monday of January each year to mark his January 15th birthday, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a holiday as dedicated to service as it is to its namesake. Dr. King himself said we must “recognize that he who is greatest among you, shall be your servant. That’s the new definition of greatness.” The Road to MLK Day Though it’s a familiar holiday today, History.com reminds us that the road to establishing Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday as a national holiday was long and, occasionally, rough. While the first push to declare the day of commemoration came only four days after Dr. King’s April 4th, 1968 assassination, the bill wasn’t passed until more than two decades later. Originally introduced by one of Congress’s few Black members, John Conyers, a Democratic Congressman from Michigan, the bill was met with staunch resistance. Yet Conyers was undaunted. As historian Don Wolfensberger writes, “Conyers would persist year after year, Congress after Congress, in introducing the same bill again and again, gathering co-sponsors along the way, until his persistence finally paid off.” Finally, a swelling of support through the 1980s—including six million signatures gathered by the Congressional Black Caucus, Stevie Wonder’s hit song “Happy Birthday,” and the 20th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech—ended with the bill establishing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day being passed into law in 1986. Though the day officially commemorating Martin Luther King, Jr. was first celebrated in 1986 during the Reagan administration, the holiday wasn’t observed in all fifty states until 2000. Watch: Presented by AmeriCorps and the Corporation for National and Community Service, the King Legacy of Service 25th Anniversary video honors Martin Luther King, Jr.’s lifetime dedication to community and giving. In it, it tells the story of how Dr. King’s birthday evolved into a national day of service. Need help with this video? Click Here Take Away: Ultimately, as much as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a holiday meant to celebrate the great deeds and lasting impact of the man himself, it’s also a time to recommit ourselves to that “new definition of greatness” through service. In the words of Dr. King’s wife, Coretta Scott King, the best gift we can give to the late reverend on his birthday is to perform “individual acts of kindness through service to others.” SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW After long years of support and resistance, the bill establishing Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was passed by Congress then signed into law by which president?
