17113Matin Luther King Jr. "Nobel Lecture by The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. / Recipient of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize / Oslo Norway / December 11 1964". Original paper wrapper. 22 pages. 7 x 4.75 inches. Limited printing of 2000 copies: "Two thousand copies of this pamphlet have been printed for distribution to friends of the House and of Dr. King." In 1964 Martin Luther King Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his non-violent struggle for civil rights for the Afro-American population." At the age of thirty-five MLK was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement. In his Nobel Lecture Dr. King expounds upon his goals for nonviolent direct action and lists Mahatma Gandhi as model: "The nonviolent resisters can summarize their message in the following simple terms: we will take direct action against injustice despite the failure of governmental and other official agencies to act first. We will not obey unjust laws or submit to unjust practices. We will do this peacefully openly cheerfully because our aim is to persuade. We adopt the means of nonviolence because our end is a community at peace with itself.This approach to the problem of racial injustice is not at all without successful precedent. It was used in a magnificent way by Mohandas K. Gandhi to challenge the might of the British Empire and free his people from the political domination and economic exploitation inflicted upon them for centuries. He struggled only with the weapons of truth soul force non-injury and courage." Light toning and wear to cover. In very good condition. 1. unknown books
16492KING JR. Martin Luther. Report on the Montgomery movement featured in the second issue The Liberation. April 1956. The story of King's discovery of a "new and powerful weapon-non-violent resistance." King according to this report sees a "new Negro" emerging in the South: "The extreme tension in race relations in the South today is explained in part by the revolutionary change in the Negro's evaluation of himself and of his destiny and by his determination to struggle for justice." The movement finds its strength King argues in the black community's economic power the church's militant leadership and the ability to implement nonviolent protest tactics. The MIA and the Congress of Racial Equality CORE reprinted and distributed King's article. The introduction is by Jim Peck editor of the CORElator contributor to Crisis and writer of the column "As Jimcrow Flies" in Independent formerly Expose.

1968146528Philadelphia/Boston: Pilgrim Press 1968. First edition thus of this collection of King's two notable devotional addresses "What is Man" and "The Dimensions of a Complete Life." 12mo original cloth illustrated with photographs by Kenneth Thompson Wide World and United Press International. Boldly signed by Coretta Scott King on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. In August 1958 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached two sermons "What is Man" and "The Dimensions of a Complete Life" at the first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ at Purdue University. In response to demands made by conference attendees King allowed publication of the addresses. With King's consent the sermons were published by the Christian Education Press in a short book entitled "The Measure of a Man." The press and King arranged for proceeds to be shared evenly after the former had recovered its costs of publication. King first developed the theme of "What Is Man" during his seminary days. King believed the sermon's title to be "one of the most important questions confronting any generation" proposing that man is many things: "a biological being" "a being of spirit" who is "made in the image of God" and "sinners in need of God's divine grace".

1958022820Chicago: Sydney Harris 1958 Black-and-white print depicting the civil rights leader against a black background signed by Civil Rights photographer Sydney Harris. Matted and framed 19 x 17 inches in fine condition. Provenance: From the estate of Addie Wyatt who appears in an Associated Press photograph by Nam Huh with the print. The Reverends Addie and Claude Wyatt Jr. were fixtures of the American Civil Rights movement through the second half of the 20th century. Addie began her career working with the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America in Chicago in 1941. Together they founded Chicago’s Vernon Park Church of God in 1956 and for the next twelve years were closely associated with Dr. Martin Luther King’s peace movement joining him at the March on Washington in 1963 the Selma to Montgomery Marches in 1965 and the Chicago demonstration in 1966. In the early 1960s Eleanor Roosevelt appointed Addie to a position on the Labor Legislation Committee on the United States Commission on the Status of Women. A vital force in the arena of labor rights she founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women in 1974. The following year she and Barbara Jordan became the first African American women to be honored as Persons of the Year by Time Magazine. Claude Wyatt Jr. served as the Southern Christian Leadership as Chicago director of the Ministerial Leadership Movement and as a board member of People United to Serve Humanity PUSH. Sydney Harris worked for nearly half a century as a photographer activist and union organizer with a focus on civil rights. During the Spanish Civil War he served as a scout with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and upon his return to American shores he devoted himself to the cause of equal rights in the United States. During the 1950s he was labeled a subversive by the U.S. government and was subject to surveillance for many years after his associations with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Cesar Chavez gaining him extra scrutiny throughout the 1960s.

1968191501968. King Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. About the War in Vietnam published 1968 presents a compilation of public addresses delivered during the final year of King's life in which he articulated his opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War. King had emerged as the most visible leader of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 1960s and by 1967 he increasingly connected civil rights activism with broader questions of American foreign policy and global justice. In these speeches King framed the war as both a moral and political crisis arguing that the conflict contradicted principles of human rights and diverted resources from domestic efforts to combat poverty and racial inequality. The speeches therefore document the moment when King expanded his public advocacy from civil rights legislation to criticism of American military policy.<br /> <br /> King Martin Luther Jr. Speeches by The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. About the War in Vietnam. New York: Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam 1968. The pamphlet collects three speeches delivered between April 1967 and February 1968: "Vietnam and the Struggle for Human Rights" "The Domestic Impact of the War in Vietnam" and "Vietnam Is Upon Us." In these addresses King explained his decision to speak publicly against the war writing that "my conscience leaves me no other choice." He described the conflict as a "nightmarish conflict" and argued that its consequences extended beyond Southeast Asia emphasizing the social and economic effects of wartime mobilization on American communities. The publication was issued by the organization Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam an interfaith coalition of religious leaders and activists formed in 1965 to oppose the war.<br /> <br /> King's opposition to the Vietnam War generated significant debate within the Civil Rights Movement and American political life. Many supporters of civil rights legislation worried that criticism of U.S. foreign policy might weaken political alliances necessary to advance domestic reform. Nevertheless King continued to link the war to broader questions of global inequality and American political responsibility. The speeches included in this publication were delivered in the months immediately preceding his assassination in April 1968 and therefore represent some of his final public statements on international policy and social justice. Minor foxing present along the margins of the cover; interior text remains clean. Overall condition very good. unknown
1968209201968. King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change published in 1968 presents a series of lectures delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Toronto during the final year of his life. The lectures form part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Massey Lectures series and address several central political and moral questions of the late 1960s including the struggle for civil rights in the United States the growing opposition to the Vietnam War the role of youth activism and the philosophy of nonviolent social transformation. Delivered in 1967 and published shortly before King's assassination in April 1968 the lectures provide insight into his evolving political thought during the later phase of the Civil Rights Movement.<br /> <br /> King Jr. Martin Luther. Conscience for Change: Massey Lectures 1967. Toronto: CBC Publications 1968. First edition second printing. The volume contains five lectures originally broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in which King examines the moral foundations of nonviolent protest and the broader struggle for racial equality. The lectures also articulate King's increasingly public opposition to the Vietnam War and his criticism of arguments used to justify American military involvement. The text presents King's reflections on the responsibilities of younger generations within social movements and the ethical obligations of democratic societies confronting injustice.<br /> <br /> The Massey Lectures series brought prominent intellectual and political voices to Canadian audiences and King's participation reflected the international significance of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s. By the time these lectures were delivered King had expanded his activism beyond the fight against segregation to include criticism of militarism and economic inequality. The publication therefore captures a late stage in King's intellectual development when his public statements increasingly connected civil rights peace activism and global questions of social justice. Paperback volume measuring approximately 8 × 5 inches. 46 pages. Original printed wrappers. Light handling wear with a previous owner's name on the inside front cover. Very good condition overall and a concise printed record of King's late reflections on civil rights war and nonviolent change. unknown

Original silver gelatin press photograph 1965 depicting Dr. King addressing a large crowd of demonstrators at the conclusion of the Selma to Montgomery march one of the pivotal public actions of the modern Civil Rights Movement.

The Interreligious Committee on Race Relations ICRR organized the event. The ICRR was established in June 1963 by leaders from Protestant Catholic and Jewish congregations in Washington D.C. One of its first goals was to support the passage of the Civil Rights Act which was then being debated in Congress. Its larger mission was to end racial discrimination particularly in public housing and employment and to foster communication between black and white communities in D.C. <br /> <br /> Few other early commemorations are documented; this mimeographed program and the ICRR meeting minutes reveal the significant evolution of the idea of a public holiday to celebrate King’s life. Speakers at The Washington Cathedral included Mayor Walter E. Washington and the civil rights leaders Rev. Walter E. Fauntroy and Bishop Henry C. Bunton. The ceremony also incorporated King’s “I Have a Dream†speech. A press release indicates how businesses schools and the D.C. government were already working together to initiate commemorative programs and “follow a liberal leave policy†for employees wishing to take the day off.
