Martin Luther King Jr - Nobel Peace Prize winner

 At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement. I think deserved this prize because he was a leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement for combating racial inequality through nonviolence. In 1965, he and the SCLC helped to organize the Selma Montgomery marches and the following year, he took the movement north to Chicago. In the final years of his life, King expanded his focus to include poverty and the Vietnam War, alienating many of his liberal allies with a 1967 speech titled "Beyond Vietnam".
