Explanation:

Martin Luther King’s Acceptance Speech, on the occasion of the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, December 10, 1964

Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, Mr. President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:

I accept the Nobel Prize for Peace at a moment when 22 million Negroes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice. I accept this award on behalf of a civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice. I am mindful that only yesterday in Birmingham, Alabama, our children, crying out for brotherhood, were answered with fire hoses, snarling dogs and even death. I am mindful that only yesterday in Philadelphia, Mississippi, young people seeking to secure the right to vote were brutalized and murdered. And only yesterday more than 40 houses of worship in the State of Mississippi alone were bombed or burned because they offered a sanctuary to those who would not accept segregation. I am mindful that debilitating and grinding poverty afflicts my people and chains them to the lowest rung of the economic ladder.

Therefore, I must ask why this prize is awarded to a movement which is beleaguered and committed to unrelenting struggle; to a movement which has not won the very peace and brotherhood which is the essence of the Nobel Prize

contemplation, I conclude that this award which I receive on behalf of that movement is a profound recognition that nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time – the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression. Civilization and violence are antithetical concepts. Negroes of the United States, following the people of India, have demonstrated that nonviolence is not sterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for social transformation. 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.

The tortuous road which has led from Montgomery, Alabama to Oslo bears witness to this truth. This is a road over which millions of Negroes are travelling to find a new sense of dignity. This same road has opened for all Americans a new era of progress and hope. It has led to a new Civil Rights Bill, and it will, I am convinced, be widened and lengthened into a super highway of justice as Negro and white men in increasing numbers create alliances to overcome their common problems.

Explanation:

Me( Tennyson): Hello, Sir Martin Luther King Jr. Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking out the time to talk to me about you and your achievements.

Martin Luther King Jr.: Indeed, it is a pleasure for me too.

Me: So you've just recently won the Nobel Peace Prize for peace. Tell me how you feel about it.

King Jr.: It is really overwhelming to be awarded with such momentous award. I still feel like so many people deserve this prize more than me.

Me: But you have actually received it because you deserved it too.

King Jr.: Well, I was just doing what I was suppose to do. I was fighting for a civil cause. I just wanted everyone to live peacefully and mutually with one another.

Me: Sir, do you think things have changed?

King Jr.: There is certainly still a lot left to do . But yes, I should say things have started to change from where we began. The ground has started to shake and will keep on shaking until we achieve the final goal.\

Me: What is the biggest goal?

King Jr.: It is not that big but it is truly powerful and virtuous. The goal is to give a voice to the voiceless. To end suppression and racial discrimination.

Me: Do you have any message for a young man like me?

King Jr.: Just keep on reaching out to the weaker and the voiceless ones.b Someday, when you look back, you will be really proud of what you have done fro them.
