Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. accepted the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Sweden. King began his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement in 1955. Having studied Gandhi, he knew what a powerful weapon nonviolence had been in his efforts to liberate India. He decided to follow the path Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau started, and combined non violence with civil disobedience to eventually end segregation in the United States.
