The Bullet and the Prize | October 14
Two men. Two October fourteenths. Fifty-two years apart. One was struck by an assassin’s bullet. The other received the world's most prestigious peace prize. Both would leave an extraordinary mark on history.
On October 14, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest while campaigning in Milwaukee. A folded speech manuscript and a steel eyeglass case helped slow the bullet. Remarkably, Roosevelt insisted on delivering his speech anyway.
On October 14, 1964, Martin Luther King Jr. was resting in an Atlanta hospital when a telephone call from his wife, Coretta, brought astonishing news: he had won the Nobel Peace Prize. Less than four years later, King would fall to an assassin's bullet in Memphis.
In this episode of Moments Almanac, we explore the unpredictable intersections of violence, honor, courage, and perseverance. Two remarkable lives remind us that we cannot control every chapter of our story, but we can choose what we stand for with the time we're given.
We cannot always determine how long our voices will be heard. But we can make certain we have something worth saying.
