Dr. King’s Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to pass the Civil Rights Act. During the ceremony, Dr. King echoed President Johnson, declaring his own war on poverty, not only in the U.S. but in “every country and colony” across the world. His Nobel Prize speech highlighted hunger, casting the right to “three meals a day” as fundamental to human dignity.
