A Time in Arizona: MLK Day and the Governor Evan Mecham Impeachment Papers - Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library Blog
Yesterday we had the privilege to honor the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and celebrate MLK Day. A bill to establish the holiday was signed into law on November 2, 1983 by President Ronald Regan.
“Dr. King had awakened something strong and true,” Regan said in the Rose Garden. “A sense that true justice must be colorblind, and that among white and black Americans, as he put it, ‘Their destiny is tied up with our destiny, and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom; we cannot walk alone.’” Quote from Remarks on Signing the Bill Making the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., a National Holiday. Regan’s full remarks following the signing of the bill are available in the Public Papers of the Presidents, which are available online and physically in the Government Documents section of your Law Library (Location: lwdo).

The entire population of Tucson in 1950 could fit, with plenty of seats to spare, in today's University of Arizona Stadium.
Tucson grew by orders of magnitude in the second half of the twentieth century. With growth, of course, came change. The change occurred so quickly that many of yesterday’s stories, landscapes, people, and lifestyles are invisible to today's Tucsonans.
This is why we record history.
Archive Tucson is the University of Arizona Libraries’ ever-growing collection of interviews about life and change in Tucson and Southern Arizona. As part of a Land Grant institution, we believe that one of the most important ways to serve our community is to preserve the stories of today for the people of tomorrow.
We invite you to browse our collection and start seeing Tucson in four dimensions.
