Martin Luther King Jr. Papers go to Auction
Documents
may bring
$15 million
(AP) — For years, S otheby's
auction house has tried to sell the
papers, m anuscripts and personal
library o f the Rev. M artin Luther
KingJr.
But previous negotiations with
various institutions cam e to naught,
including a private sale in 2003 that
was called off. Now, on June 30,
Sotheby’s will auction the King
collection, hoping that an institu­
tion will step forward and pay from
$15 million to $30 million for the lot
o f more than 10,000 items.
"It does set a challenge for Ameri­
can institutions to decide whether
or not they want to save and pre­
serve the King legacy for poster­
ity," David Redden, S otheby’s vice
chairm an, said. “This is a very im ­
portant story that needs a very
appropriate conclusion.”
The money will go to the finan­
cially strapped King estate. Red­
den said the death o f C oretta Scott
King earlier this year helped speed
