And here in New York, a collection of sermons, books, notes and speeches by civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has gone on display ahead of an auction at the end of the month. The King family hopes to raise at least $30 million dollars for the collection, which will be sold as a single lot. The set includes a draft of Dr. King’s 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech and his acceptance address upon winning the Nobel Peace Prize one year later.
