“However deeply American Negroes are caught in the struggleto be at last at home in our homeland of the United States, we cannot ignorethe larger world house in which we are also dwellers.” - Martin Luther KingJr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech

During the Cold War in September of 1964, Martin Luther KingJr. was invited to speak in Berlin, Germany at a memorial service for John F.Kennedy and to 20,000 people at the Waldbühne amphitheater. The impact of his one-and-a-half-day visit isstill remembered today.

The invitation came from West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt andProvost Heinrich Grüber who had previously had contact with King duringseparate visits to the U.S. Both men hadperceived the struggle of overcoming racism similar to the struggle ofresisting fascism.

Three years earlier, the Berlin Wall had been erected. Against the U.S. government’s wishes, Kingalso traveled to East Berlin. By word ofmouth, his offer of giving an ecumenical service at St. Mary’s Church spread,resulting in 1,000 people squeezing into the ancient church. To accommodate the overflow turned away, Kingrepeated the speech at a different church.At East Berlin’s Humboldt University, black students had the opportunityto speak with King.

The East German clergy had been resisting the GDRgovernment’s policies. The pastor of St.Mary’s Church had recently been imprisoned for speaking out against thegovernment and smuggling people across the border. King’s message “that nonviolence is notsterile passivity, but a powerful moral force which makes for socialtransformation,” was considered a ray of hope to the beleaguered clergy. He spent the evening with East German pastorsbefore returning to West Berlin by midnight.

“Here on either side of the Wall are God’s children and noman-made barrier can obliterate that fact,” said King to the masses on bothsides of the wall. In East Berlin, hiswords of “freedom” and “civil disobedience” resonated with the people.

During this trip, King also visited Pope Paul VI at theVatican. This picture was taken at apress conference in London before King returned to the United States.
