Why does King begin his Nobel Prize acceptance speech with examples of recent racial violence in the US?

In his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not begin with examples of recent racial violence in the United States.

Instead, he began his speech by expressing gratitude for the honor and recognition, acknowledging the significance of the Nobel Prize as a symbol of peace and reconciliation, and paying tribute to earlier recipients of the award. He then proceeded to discuss the larger issues of global social justice, civil rights, and the pursuit of peace, without specifically mentioning recent incidents of racial violence.
