Lot Description
KING, Martin Luther King., Jr. (1929-1968). 'I Have a Dream...' New York: New York Post, 1 September 1963. Unauthorized broadside printing of King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
11 1/2 x 15 7/8 in. printed broadside (toned, old folds). Provenance: John Bubbles (per consignor).
A specially issued broadside published by the New York Post, unauthorized by Dr. King. The nature of this publication is discussed in a lawsuit filed by Dr. King against Mister Maestro, Inc. to protect his speech copyrights: "The New York Post in its issue of September 1, 1963 published the complete text of the speech under the title "I Have A Dream * * *". The Post thereafter offered for sale reprints of the speech. Dr. King says that he has not consented in any way to such reprinting and sale of the speech and did not give to the Post any copy of his speech."
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
