ATLANTA AP – Recordings of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. are among the historic items to be auctioned next month at the same gallery where a sale was thwarted in April because of opposition from the civil rights patriarch’s family.
Among the dozens of items Gallery 63 owner Paul Brown plans to sell are more than 20 original recordings of King, John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy – some of which are the only copies known to exist – as well as an invitation to a 1965 Atlanta dinner that belatedly celebrated King’s Nobel Peace Prize and a letter from King thanking one of the organizers.
