Rather that giving it to one humble person or give it to a humble and loving pet. If Nellie were not to keep look out for her owner, than she would not have been able to save her owner. Even…

I’ve been on the Nobel Committee since 1982, with this year, 1986, being my fourth year. This year, I have the opportunity to express why Elie Wiesel is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize.

In his Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, King states society needs to overcome violence without the use of violence. By him saying this, the reader can tell that King is an activist for the civil rights movement.
