Sold – MLK Is Infused With Hope After Receiving the Nobel Peace Prize

Although the days are sometimes dark, I am convinced that we stand on the threshold of our world’s bright tomorrows

Juxtaposed against the violence of the segregationists, King’s mission of equality through civil disobedience resonated with millions of Americans and people around the globe. In July 1964 the struggle he led resulted in passage of the Civil Rights Act, an enormous step that ended racial segregation in the United States. Then on October 14, 1964, just nine years after leading the Montgomery Bus Boycotte, King himself became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. His spirits were buoyed by both of these events and by his positive reception back home in Atlanta after the Nobel ceremony, and he began to glimpse with a long view the ultimate success of his movement. Meanwhile, words of congratulation poured in from people everywhere.

Typed Letter Signed on his Southern Christian Leadership Conference letterhead, Atlanta, October 24, 1964 (just ten days after receiving the Nobel Prize), to Henry Gurau, a Jewish community leader in Toronto, Canada, in which we can see King’s eyes were on the future. “Your kind, encouraging words are of inestimable value for the continuance of our humble efforts. Although the days are sometimes dark, I am convinced that we stand on the threshold of our world’s bright tomorrows”.
