Então, em 1983, finalmente, a terceira segunda-feira de janeiro foi comemorada como o dia do Martin Luther King Jr por Ronald Regan, o presidente então. O rei Lutero era uma pessoa muito digna de confiança e apaixonada e seu assassinato acabou por ser uma grande perda para a nação. Seu sonho era unir os negros com os brancos um dia. Neste dia, nos EUA, as pessoas cumprimentam-se dizendo o feliz dia de Martin Luther King e abraçam-se mutuamente. As pessoas celebram este dia de maneiras diferentes, eles freqüentam a missa da igreja, enquanto alguns deles lançam uma festa surpresa para celebrar o aniversário desta grande pessoa.
