December 10, 1964: Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
We are honored to provide access to Martin Luther King Jr.’s dissertation in the new ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global (PQDT Global)
At 35 years old, he was the youngest man, of any race, and only the second black person, to ever receive the honor. Upon notification that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize, King was quick to declare that he would dedicate the $54,000 in prize money to furthering the efforts of the civil rights movement.
