Dr. King's Nobel Prize had a more powerful transforming effect on him than I think he realized at the time. ↗

To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit. ↗
