How Martin Luther King Became the Youngest Nobel Peace Prize Winner
-

Di:
Martin Luther King Jr. was awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize and immediately pledged the $54,000 award to the civil rights movement. At 35, he lay in an Atlanta hospital bed, exhausted from months of nonviolent marches, when the bedside telephone rang, and Coretta brought the news from Norway. He became the youngest recipient in history and refused to accept sole credit, insisting the medal belonged to the thousands who faced police dogs and fire hoses to claim their dignity. The narrator frames this as both personal sacrifice and collective triumph, stressing King's insistence on redirecting the prize money back into the struggle.
