Question #8:What sort of discrimination did he fight against?


Answer:Martin Luther King, Jr. experienced segregation early in life. When he was six years old, two white
playmates told him that they were not allowed to play with him any longer. His mother explained to him that it was
because they now attended segregated schools, but assured him that he was as good as anybody else. His father
told him the story of the father of the Reformation, Martin Luther, and said that both of them now should have his
name.
On 1 December 1955, Rosa Parks, an African American woman, refused to surrender her bus seat to a white
passenger, and as a result she was arrested for violating the city's segregation law. Activists protested and organised
a boycott of the buses for one day and chose Martin Luther King, Jr. as their leader. This protest continued until the
buses became desegregated. Under this time, about a year, Martin Luther King, Jr. was constantly harassed with
death threats and bombing of his house.

Question #9:Why was Martin Luther King, Jr. awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize?

Answer:As Gunnar Jahn, Chairman of the Nobel Committee, said in his presentation speech: "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."
