In 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35, making him the youngest person to receive the prize. His acceptance speech in Oslo is considered by many to be one of the most powerful speeches ever given at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. In the speech, King spoke about the power of nonviolent resistance and the importance of love in the fight for justice. He famously said, "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant."
