When Martin Luther King accepted the Nobel Prize in 1964, he
delivered an electrifying speech which has largely been forgotten by history.
It may have been muted compared to the legendary “I Have a Dream” rally but The
Daily Beast’s Malcolm Jones says the Nobel address was one of the most moving
things he ever wrote.
King spoke in prose a child could understand, and a poet
would envy, saying “I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically
bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of
peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.”
