The World House
Martin Luther King, Jr's Vision and Agenda
In his Nobel Peace Prize lecture in 1964, Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. first articulated his vision of a World House in which a
family of different races, religions, ideas, cultures and interests must
learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as
fools. He identified racism, poverty/ materialism, and war as the three
major threats to human survival. He stressed the urgency of addressing
these problems, warning that it might be humanity's last chance to choose
between chaos and community. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
made Dr. King's predictions seem eerily prescient. His vision and agenda
may be the key to our survival during the 21st century.
This website is dedicated to promoting Dr. King's World
House vision and agenda. It includes articles, data, graphics, and
action ideas, as well as instructions for building a World House
display. We hope you will find these materials useful. We welcome
feedback and suggestions for additional information that you would find
helpful. We also will consider items submitted for possible inclusion on
this site.
