Encourages the people of the United States to: (1) observe Dr. King's 80th birthday and his life; (2) commemorate his legacy so that, as Dr. King hoped, "one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: `We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal'"; and (3) remember Dr. King's message and rededicate themselves to his goal of a free and just United States.
