Importantly this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the first time that the Nobel Museum and Nobel Media has collaborated with the family of Martin Luther King, Jr. and The King Estate. As such Bernice A. King, the youngest daughter of Martin Luther and Coretta Scott King will travel from Atlanta to Stockholm to open the show on Friday, September 28, 2018 at 4PM.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAs we commemorate the 50th anniversary of my father\u2019s death, I wish to commend the Nobel Museum for its decision to dedicate a new exhibition to his life\u2019s work, and the promotion of human rights. I am equally pleased to hear that my mother Coretta Scott King’s role and contribution as an activist in her own right will also be highlighted. I believe that my parent’s message of social justice and equality is as important today as ever before, and look forward to being in Stockholm to open the show\u201d, <\/span><\/i>says Bernice A.King, <\/span>CEO of The King Center: the official living memorial in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, founded in 1968 by Coretta Scott King to advance the work and nonviolent legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The exhibition will present a rich variety of material such as photographs, objects, film, as well as original interviews with people who knew King personally, including the Jamaican American singer Harry Belafonte. It will also feature a \u201dDream Builder\u201d, a digital application where visitors can build their own dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOf all the Nobel Laureates, Martin Luther King, Jr. recipient of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, is the most sought after by online visitors. As such, we are positive that this exhibition will appeal to visitors from around the world. We also hope that it will inspire young people to follow in his footsteps. We are especially pleased that King\u2019s daughter Bernice A. King, CEO of The King Center will join us for the exhibition opening, which I cordially invite you to attend at the Nobel Museum, on September 28th at 5 pm”, <\/span><\/i>says Olov Amelin, the Director of the Nobel Museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A full educational program will allow students the opportunity to learn more about Martin Luther King, Jr., and how his method of nonviolent action continues to inspire other movements around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
