MLK’s Only Letter To Rosa Parks Up For Sale

The only known letter written by Martin Luther King Jr. to civil rights hero Rosa Parks is going up for sale.

Page Six reports:

In the correspondence dated April 12, 1960, King candidly writes: “I have been intending to answer your very kind letter of March 14 for several days . . . Your very kind words are very encouraging and consoling.”

He adds, “In the midst of constant harassment and intimidation and because of my involvement in the civil right struggle, I often find myself asking, ‘Is it worth it?’ But then a friend of goodwill comes along with kind encouraging words that gives me renewed vigor . . . to carry on.”

The letter is being offered for $125,000.

Let’s just hope the King’s kids don’t find out about this considering their latest family drama.
