One page letter, 8.5 x 11", together with two smaller leaflets and a reply envelope. A collection of fundraising ephemera issued by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, including a rare fundraising appeal by Martin Luther King Jr. This one page letter, on King's letterhead, and bearing his printed signature, touts the "new political force" of the African American voter in the recent presidential election that was the result of "many years of dedicated labor and bitter sacrifices in long registration campaigns.The murder of registration workers and widespread bombings of homes, churches and synagogues were employed to freeze us in terror--but they failed." The circular adds that "our task is yet unfinished", with millions of African Americans yet to be registered. It concludes with a brief discussion of the other activities of the SCLC as well as a call for funds. Also included are a pair of leaflets, 8.75 x 3.75", one reprinting a New York Times article about the recent African American vote, the other listing "Some Important Facts About SCLC," together with a business reply envelope addressed to Dr. King. We were unable to find this circular letter in OCLC, or in any online searches. In excellent condition overall.
