On October 14th the 1964 Nobel Peace prize was given to me., who was after Raplph Bunche, the second black American to win the award. I was awarded this award for my nonviolent resistance to racial prejudice in America. I was 35 when I received this award. I was the youngest person ever to received this reward. The prize that I was rewarded honored me for being the furtherance of brother hood among men. When I received this reward it was a really big deal. The Norwegian radio even changed their night schedule one night to brodcast a 30 minute program in honor of the me getting the peace prize. I said that I was "deeply moved by the honor." I received 54,000$ when I won the Nobel Peace Prize, and I said EVERY PENNY was going to be put towards the Civil Rights Movement. I was the 12th American to win the Nobel Peace Prize. When the I won the Nobel Peace Prize I was named “Man of the Year” in the Time Magazine. The article in Times magazine praised how I really deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize.http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=martin+luther+king+jr.+winning+peace+prize&safe=on&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1274&bih=624
