OSLO, NORWAY--Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
In announcing the 1964 winner of the coveted award, the Oslo Nobel Institute said yesterday "Martin Luther King has consistently asserted the principle of nonviolence."
In an Atlanta, Ga., hospital for a routine physical checkup, the Negro Civil Rights leader, said, "I'm deeply moved, gratified and honored to be chosen for such a significant award.
"I do not consider this merely an honor to me personally, but a tribute to the discipline, wise restraint, and majestic courage of the millions of gallant Negroes and white persons of good will who have followed a nonviolent course in seeking to establish a reign of justice and a rule of love across this nation of ours."
