'''Katie Hall''' was a [[Representative]] from [[Indiana]]'s 1st [[congressional district]] from 1982-1985. She is best remembered for introducing the bill that created [[Martin Luther King Day]] which was passed in the House by a coalition of [[Republican]]s and the [[Congressional Black Caucus]], the Republican Senate, and signed into law by [[President Ronald Reagan]]. [[Democratic party]] leadership had always opposed earlier versions of the bill, and failed to pass it during the term of President [[Jimmy Carter]] when [[Democrat]]s controlled both Houses of Congress.
