Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. admires his Nobel Prize, Oslo, Norway, December 10, 1964, Associated Press
On December 4, 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of “a movement which is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle….”
"Sooner or later all the people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace, and thereby transform this pending cosmic elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. If this is to be achieved, man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love."
