Here is a Martin Luther King signed letter we have sold in the past:
Martin Luther King TLS Re: South Africa 1965
Martin Luther King, Jr. typed letter signed to leading African anti-apartheid fighter, Ronald Segal. Single page letter composed on Southern Christian Leadership Conference stationery and datelined Atlanta, 8 September 1965. In part: “I am in receipt of your kind letter inviting me to serve as a sponsor of your International Conference on Economic Sanctions against South Africa As you know, I am deeply concerned about the whole South African situation and I seek to support every creative effort to bring pressure against the governments of south Africa and South West Africa to end the long night of man’s inhumanity to man. For this reason I will be happy to serve as a sponsor of your conference” It was only fitting that King’s activism, so effective in America, should come home, so to speak, to South Africa, where Gandhi’s non-violent resistance struggle began. “More and more,” King told reporters in London in December 1964, en route to Stockholm and the Nobel Prize ceremony, “I have come to realize that racism is a world problem.” Ronald Segal, then editor of the Penguin African Library, was a native South African and a leading anti-apartheid fighter in that country. He fled to England in the aftermath of the Sharpeville massacre in 1960, and the government’s crackdown on the ANC and other activists. He was the organizer of the International Conference on Economic Sanctions against South Africa. A fine association of King with a leading figure of the British and South African anti-apartheid movements. Letter measures 8.5″ x 11″. Slight toning to side edges. Overall excellent condition. Sold for $5,060.
