Throwback to 1964, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and his wife, Coretta Scott King, were greeted by Ralph J Bunche,
#UnitedNations Under-Secretary for Special Political Affairs and a fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate, at UN Headquarters in
#NYC.
Dr. King, a visionary civil rights leader and tireless advocate against racism and discrimination, was awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize for his groundbreaking work.
As the US observes
#MLKDay on Monday, we join in honoring
#MartinLutherKing and celebrating his enduring legacy, which continues to inspire the world.
Racism persists to this day, but everyone, everywhere, has the power to stand up against racial prejudice and intolerance by speaking up, spreading messages of compassion, volunteering in support of vulnerable communities and more.
