In 1986, we can make them happen." Wonder embodies the things the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. preached. This gentle, warm entertainer, who understands the true meaning of brotherhood, will host and NBC's "All-Sta- r Celebration Honoring Martin Luther King Jr." Monday, the new federal holiday honoring the birthday of the assassinated civil rights leader. The superstar singer and Coretta Scott King met with reporters here to talk about the two-hoprime-tim- e special. Wonder lit up the room with his colorfully decorated, bright red sweatshirt and his abundance of good will. NBCs special will originate from Radio City Music Hall in New York, the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington and the Civic Center in Atlanta. The events will be taped earlier in the evening for the 9 p.m. EST telecast. (The program will be aired in Utah at 8 p.m. on KUTV, Channel 2.) Wonder left most of the talking to Mrs. King, but his remarks were noteworthy. He commented on the "fear that has gripped the world and how "vulnerable we in America are. He declared that it was up to all communicators including the roomful of journalists as well as entertainers like himself to encourage people to think positively. d Besides hosting the event. Wonder also will perform. Other headliners include Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Murphy, Patti LaBelle, Cicely Tyson, Joan Baez, Neil Diamond, Dick Gregory and Harry Belafonte. Also taking part will be major sports figures, as well as Sens. Edward Kenand Robert Dole, nedy, star-studde- Speaking about the holiday, Mrs. King stressed that its for all Americans. It would be a failure if it were viewed only as a day for black Americans, she declared. Dr. King always spoke of the universality of human- kind. The nine days of activities leading up to the special will include the unveiling of a bust in Washington, a pa- rade down Atlantas Peachtree Street ending at Kings crypt, and an ecumenical service at the Ebenezer Baptist Church there, where King and his father preached. President Reagan, who signed the bill designating the holiday, will be seen in TV spots throughout the week, addressing Americans. I always knew it would be a long commented Mrs. King struggle, about the effort to create the new holiday. The decision was made by the people.
