*Stevie Wonder sent out an epic first tweet on Wednesday.
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, whose efforts in the early 80s led to the Martin Luther King holiday, made his Twitter debut on Wednesday with a celeb-packed video marking the 50th anniversary of MLK’s assassination.
In a nod to King’s iconic “I Have A Dream” speech, Wonder tapped a slew of famous folks to share their own personal dreams for the world under the hashtag, “#DreamStillLives.”
Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, Dave Chappelle, Mary J. Blige, Common, Mariah Carey, Whoopi Goldberg, Serena Williams, Michael Strahan, Sen. Kamala Harris, Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Campbell, Samuel L. Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Gayle King, Tiger Woods, Carmelo Anthony, Jamie Foxx, Yara Shahidi, Berry Gordy and Condoleezza Rice are among those to appear in the inspirational clip.
“Our dream is of a world where we recognize each other’s common humanity, that we shape for our children peace, justice and opportunity for all,” said Barack Obama.
“My dream is higher education for everyone,” added Tiger Woods.
The countdown website for the video received over 500,000 views in less than 24 hours, while the hashtag #DreamStillLives received over 160,000 mentions on Twitter in less than 24 hours before video went live.

On April 4th, 1968 at 7:05 p.m. central time, Dr. King’s life was cut tragically short. 50 years later a need for his dream to be fulfilled is far greater than ever.
Share your dream & post your own #DreamStillLives video. Spread love…spread hope. pic.twitter.com/51BaCW78GC— Stevie Wonder (@StevieWonder) April 5, 2018
