Tribute to Martin Luther King
He is the first person in the Western world to have shown us that
a struggle can be waged without violence. He is the first to make
the message of brotherly love a reality in the course of his
struggle, and he has brought this message to all men, to all
nations and races.
Today we pay tribute to Martin Luther King, the man who has never
abandoned his faith in the unarmed struggle he is waging, who has
suffered for his faith, who has been imprisoned on many
occasions, whose home has been subject to bomb attacks, whose
life and the lives of his family have been threatened, and who
nevertheless has never faltered.
To this undaunted champion of peace the Nobel Committee of the
Norwegian Parliament has awarded the Peace Prize for the year
1964.
