The Nobel Peace Prize of this Era

According to Nobel's will, the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to the person or organization who in the preceding year "shall have done the most or the best work for promoting the welfare of all mankind”.

Many people have been awarded the prize for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace so far and there were also many recipients who devoted his or her life for peace in the world such as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King.

As we all know, it’s been a long time for many people or organizations to try to stop conflicts and fights between nations but in reality, things seem to be working far from peace.
Many people have longed for peace and will do. However the word of ‘peace’ itself wouldn’t bring peace to the world.
Wouldn’t it be possible to achieve the real world peace when someone takes the lead and actually goes to the disputed area to cease the war and make them united?

But there is few person who invests his life and takes the risk of danger by going out some places to inform the necessity of real peace. I want peace too, I haven’t played a actual role for the realization of World Peace. Only, I wished the Peace with having sorrow watching the conflicts among the nations.

However, there is the man that has tried to achieve the World Peace by day and night. He is the peace advocate, chairman Manhee Lee.

Although he is eighty three – year – old and not a young man, he tours around the world and meets the several country’s presidents and the people that have posts of importance explaining the way to actualize the World Peace and drawing the conversation for it because he really wants the era of World Peace.

“Maybe, everyone thinks that the era of World Peace should come quickly but it would not come by speaking the word ”peace“ repeatedly.  -Manhee Lee-

Like we take the light, the rain, and the air for granted, our chairman, Manhee Lee, is a peace advocate that endeavor to achieve the World Peace without rewarding. When we joined his will for the World Peace and take a part to actualize it, the world meets the real peaceful world.

Peaceful Men [Martin Luther King, Jr.]

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, at his family home in Atlanta, Georgia. King was an eloquent Baptist minister and leader of the civil-rights movement in America, from the Mid-1950s until his death, by assassination, in 1968. King promoted non-violent means to achieve civil-rights reform and was awarded the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.King’s grandfather was a Baptist preacher. His father was pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church. King earned his own Bachelor of Divinity degree from Crozier Theological Seminary in 1951, and earned his Doctor of Philosophy from Boston University, in 1955.While at seminary, King became acquainted with Mohandas Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolent social protest. On a trip to India in 1959, King met with followers of Gandhi. During these discussions he became more convinced than ever that nonviolent resistance was the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom.As a pastor of a Baptist church in Montgomery, Alabama, King lead a Black bus boycott. He and ninety others were arrested and indicted under the provisions of a law making it illegal to conspire to obstruct the operation of a business. King and several others were found guilty, but appealed their case. As the bus boycott dragged on, King was gaining a national reputation. The ultimate success of the Montgomery bus boycott made King a national hero.Dr. King’s 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail inspired a growing national civil rights movement. In Birmingham, the goal was to completely end the system of segregation in every aspect of public life (stores, no separate bathrooms and drinking fountains, etc.) and in job discrimination. Also in 1963, King led a massive march on Washington DC, where he delivered his now famous, “I Have A Dream” speech. King’s tactics of active nonviolence (sit-ins, protest marches) had put civil-rights squarely on the national agenda.On April 4, 1968, King was shot by James Earl Ray while standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was only 39 at the time of his death. Dr. King was turning his attention to a nationwide campaign to help the poor at the time of his assassination.
