House Memorial 8 honors the life and legacy of Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. by designating the week of January 12 through January 19, 2026, as "Dream Week" in New Mexico. This commemoration, organized by the Martin Luther King, Jr. commission, will feature various events and moments of service aimed at uplifting Dr. King's ideals and fostering community unity across the state. The theme for the 2026 observance is "Mission Possible Two: Building Community, Uniting a Nation the Nonviolent Way," reflecting Dr. King's commitment to civil rights and social justice.

The memorial emphasizes the importance of Dr. King's teachings, particularly his belief that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and recognizes the diverse communities of New Mexico as a representation of his multicultural vision. The resolution calls for the life and legacy of Dr. King to be commemorated and requests that copies of the memorial be sent to key state officials, including the governor and the executive director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. commission.
