The White House ceremony came on day the United States celebrates a national holiday in honour of the slain civil rights leader. King's widow, Coretta Scott King, presented a portrait of her late husband to the President and said it was a reminder of "the power of the dream." At the ceremony, Bush said: "Some figures in history, renowned in their day, grew smaller with the passing of time. The man from Atlanta, Georgia only grows larger with the years. America is a better place because he was here, and we will honor his name forever." After his speech, Bush signed a proclamation crediting King with helping the United States "become a fairer and more colour blind society." King led the civil rights movement for blacks in America during the late 1950s and 1960s. He was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
