Original printed pamphlet of Pope John XXIII's 1963 Pacem in Terris. Boldly signed by Martin Luther King, Jr. at the bottom of the title page. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 through 1968. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using the tactics of nonviolence and civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs and inspired by the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi. King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and in 1957 became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). With the SCLC, he led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany, Georgia. Pope John's Pacem in Terris was issued on April 11, 1963. The day after, on April 12, King would be arrested for his nonviolent protesting against racism and racial segregation in Birmingham, Alabama, writing his Letter from Birmingham Jail on the 16th. Matted and framed. In fine condition. The piece measures 11.25 inches by 9.25 inches. Rare and desirable. Pope John XXIIIâs 1963 encyclical Pacem in Terris (âPeace on Earthâ) stands as one of the most influential Catholic social teachings of the twentieth century, articulating a global moral framework grounded in human dignity, universal rights, and the ethical responsibilities of both individuals and states. Issued amid Cold War tensions and only months before his death, the document broke new ground by addressing itself not only to Catholics but to âall people of good will,â reflecting John XXIIIâs broader ecumenical and humanitarian vision. Pacem in Terris condemned nuclear proliferation, affirmed the equality of all peoples, and called for structures of international cooperation capable of safeguarding peace and justice.
