In Dover, England, King Ferdinand And Queen Marie Of Romania

Marie of Romania was born in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh in the year 1875. It was only 18 years later that she married Crown Prince Ferdinand and became the first woman to reign as king of an Eastern European country. Investigators have discovered that she had a significant influence on Ferdinand’s decision to align himself with the British rather than the Germans. They had lived in Romania for more than two decades before traveling to Western Europe to carry out royal duties as part of a diplomatic mission there. When they traveled to Belgium, France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, it was in 1924 that they were at their best. “Apart from the shared goals that we share, there are other, more personal ties that bind us together. “Her Majesty the Queen, my loving cousin, was born in the United Kingdom,” King George V said of the pair in a speech honoring them.

Martin Luther King Jr. On Non-Violence

The Civil Rights Movement throughout the 1950s and 1960s was led by Martin Luther King Jr., who is widely regarded as the movement’s most important person. He was a pioneer in the fight for equal rights, and his numerous speeches calling for the abolition of segregation inspired many others. Six months had passed since the March on Washington when he had the opportunity to speak with novelist Robert Penn Warren about nonviolence. “I believe that [violence and hatred] will end up causing far more social issues than they would solve, and I’m thinking specifically of a very powerful love,” he stated in an interview. Rather than merely saying, “Love your enemies,” I’m thinking about loving your enemies to the point where you’re prepared to sit at a lunch counter with them in order to help them find their own self. “You’re willing to go to jail for your beliefs.”
