King Ferdinand and Queen Marie of Romania In Dover, England
Marie of Romania was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in the year 1875. It was only 18 years later that she married Crown Prince Ferdinand and became an Eastern European monarch. Researchers have found that she was extremely influential in Ferdinand choosing to ally with the British rather than the Germans. They spent over two decades in Romania before they travelled over to Western Europe to perform royal duties on a diplomatic tour. It was 1924 when they visited Belgium, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. “Apart from the common aims, which we pursue, there are other and dear ties between us. Her Majesty the Queen, my dear cousin, is British born,” King George V offered when speaking about the couple.

Martin Luther King Jr. On Non-Violence
Martin Luther King Jr. is well known for being the leading figure in the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 60s. He was a pioneer for equal rights and inspired many with his many speeches that demanded the end of segregation. It was 6 months after the March on Washington that he spoke to novelist, Robert Penn Warren, about non-violence. He said, “I think [violence and hatred] will end up creating many more social problems than they solve, and I’m thinking of a very strong love. I’m not, I’m thinking, I’m thinking of love in action and not something where you say, ‘Love your enemies,’ and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you’re willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You’re willing to go to jail.”
