Dr. King's "World House"

World7Our friends at the Rhode Island Peace Mission have launched a web site for "The World House Project", "dedicated to promoting Dr. King's World House 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.
