Signed book: Strides Toward Freedom. First edition. NY: Harper & Brothers, 1958. Hardcover with dust jacket, 5.75 x 8.25, 230 pages. Lengthily signed and inscribed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint, “To Sarah G. Harvey: Whose genuine goodwill, broad humanitarian concern, and unswerving devotion to the cause of peace and brotherhood will be an inspiration to all who know her. Martin Luther King, Jr.” Accompanied by the original transmittal letter, dictated by King but secretarially signed, two pages, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, November 28, 1961. King responds to Harvey’s inquiry regarding a donation. In part: “As you know, most of my time is given to the cause of brotherhood, better racial understanding and national peace. However, the challenging responsibilities in these areas can only be carried out by having the necessary financial means.” Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/VG-. Black cloth-covered spine and blue paper-covered boards; mild wear to corners and spine-ends; textblock edges yellowed and lightly foxed; discoloration to endpapers from publisher’s glue; light waterstain along edges of rear pastedown. Dust jacket has small tears and creases to edges, mostly at corners and spine-ends; sunned/yellowed, heaviest along spine; waterstain to rear panel and flap; rubbing and mild soiling; crease down front flap. A superb, heartfelt inscription from the important Civil Rights leader in 1961, just before his Southern Christian Leadership Conference became involved in the Albany Movement, their first major nonviolent campaign.
