Abstract

The article presents the return of former U.S. civil rights worker Martin Luther King Jr.'s papers to Atlanta's Morehouse College. A reception was held at Sotheby's auction house in New York City where the papers were sold to the college. Donors were treated to the event and were joined by two of King's daughters, Ebony Executive Editor Emeritus Lerone Bennett Jr., and actress Cicely Tyson. The college obtained a loan for the purchase and have secured donations for approximately half of that amount.
