- Text transcribed from caption: PC-31915 DR. KING RECEIVES NOBEL PEACE PRIZE OSLO -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga., noted Negro integration leader, is congratulated by Norway’s Crown Prince Harald (left) and King Olav after being presented with the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. Looking on is his wife, Mrs. Coretta King. Dr. King, a Baptist minister, was honored for his non-violent leadership in the civil rights movement. He said he was accepting the award on behalf of the movement and “all men who love peace and brotherhood.” Earlier he had announced that the prize money, about $54,000 would go to aid the struggle for social justice. Dr. King is founder and president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, dedicated to promoting equal rights. He is the second American Negro and the youngest person--at 35--to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (U-12B-64-NAB)
