If you opened the newspaper the day after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his Nobel Peace Prize lecture in 1964 you would read his three timeless keys for saving the world. As a UPI story on Dr. King’s lecture stated, “the survival of the world depends on man’s ability to eradicate racial injustice, poverty and war.”

Dr. King dedicated his life to eliminating these scourges of mankind. It’s up to us to follow his work to save our world, which is always under threat.

We simply cannot have racial injustice, hatred and division. All peoples must learn to live with one another, to realize we have more in common than we have separating us. We can be united in this world and, in fact, we need each other as Dr. King explained.
