1964

Human rights campaigner Martin Luther King preaches at St Paul's on his way to Oslo to collect the Nobel Peace Prize.

Dr King preached to a full cathedral at Evensong on 6 December 1964, where he spoke of signs of a rapidly growing problem of race relations in Britain.

'We must not seek to rise from a position of disadvantage to one of advantage, substituting injustice of one type for that of another,' he said.

'God is not interested in the freedom of white, black or yellow men, but in the freedom of the whole human race.'
