The Romanian Royalty Visit Dover, England – Queen Marie And King Ferdinand
The future queen of Romania, Marie, was born in 1875 in Edinburgh. Twenty-two years later, she would be betrothed to Crown Prince Ferdinand of Romania. It was thanks to her influence that her royal husband decided to side with England during World War I. Following more than twenty years spent in Eastern Europe, the two embarked on a diplomatic tour of Western Europe in 1924. They would visit Switzerland, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom. King George V would happily welcome them into his home, due to the diplomatic significance of their visit, and because Queen Marie was a beloved cousin of his.

The Peaceful Strategies Of Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was the charismatic and stoic head of the Civil Rights Movement during the 50s and 60s. His impassioned rhetoric aimed to abolish segregation in America. It was during a conversation with Robert Penn Warren, held six months following the March on Washington, that King would detail his ethos, “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.”
