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.
