Answer:

In 1964 Martin Luther King, Jr. was granted the Nobel Peace Prize for his dynamic administration of the Civil Rights development and relentless duty to accomplishing racial equity through peaceful activity.

King acknowledged the honor on December 10, 1964 in Oslo, Norway for the benefit of the Civil Rights development and promised the prize money to the movement's continued advancement. At the age of thirty-five, King turned into the most youngest man, and the second African American, to get the esteemed honor.
