When he accepted his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. compared the world’s technological progress—the dawn of computers, the launch of the first man into orbit, telecommunications that could shrink the globe—with the slow and difficult pace of social change.
The contrasts Dr. King draws are familiar to us today.
That’s why Indiana Humanities is inviting schools, libraries, community centers and other tax-exempt organizations to host The Quest: A Discussion Program in their communities. Centered around Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Nobel Peace Prize speech “The Quest for Peace and Justice,” conversations can touch on topics varying from technology and social change to the threat of technologically advanced warfare.
