Make a great American part of your autograph collection with the acquisition of this Martin Luther King Jr. signed book. Published in 1958 by Harper & Brothers, this vintage hardcover book is titled Stride Toward Freedom. Author King has signed boldly on the title page, with ("8") strength, by means of a blue ballpoint pen. Accompanying is the original dust jacket, with a photo of Reverend King on the front. While the dust jacket is completely split along the spine, it remains appealing, with moderate wear. A proponent of nonviolent protest, resistance and civil disobedience, King was one the key figures in advancing civil rights for people of color in the United States and his tragic assassination in 1968 made him a true martyr to the cause. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $1,500.
