MARTIN KING LUTHER MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2015 2015 STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA STATE 2015 COMMEMORATION & CELEBRATION & CELEBRATION COMMEMORATION SPONSORED BY Dr. Christina King Farris is the eldest sister of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the only living member of the family of origin. Dr. Farris recently retired as the oldest member of the faculty at Spelman College in Atlanta College where she graduated in the same year her brother Martin graduated from Morehouse College. This greeting is an exclusive to the 2015 State MLK Celebration in tribute to West Virginia’s recognition of Dr. King’s birthday as a State holiday before it became a National holiday. To Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and Dr. Carolyn Stuart, Executive Director of the Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs, I bring greetings to the Martin Luther King Jr., State Holiday Commission and the people of the “Mountain State” of West Virginia, where “Mountaineers are always free”. I was surprised and pleased to learn that West Virginia led the nation in declaring Dr. King’s Birthday a State Holiday before it became a national holiday. I understand that this was the result of House Bill 1368 initiated by Delegates Booker Stephens and Ernest Moore which established the King Holiday as a State Celebration in 1982—four years before it was officially declared a national holiday in 1986. I pray that God’s richest blessing be with all who diligently work for justice, equality, and peace in pursuit of my brother’s vision of the “beloved community.” Dr.

The campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and its observation commenced in 1986. Sadly, it took another 14 years for all 50 states to celebrate it. In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed legislation challenging Americans to transform the King Holiday into a day of citizen action volunteer service in honor of Dr. King. Thousands of volunteers across the country donate their time to make a difference on this day each year.
