Writing in The Washington Post in 1983, Coretta Scott King provided a vision of how the holiday honoring her husband should be observed:
"The holiday must be substantive as well as symbolic. It must be more than a day of celebration . . . Let this holiday be a day of reflection, a day of teaching nonviolent philosophy and strategy, a day of getting involved in nonviolent action for social and economic progress."
The list is divided into three aspects of daily school and classroom settings: displays, curriculum and discussions.
