Martin Luther King Jr. has signed this “Ebenezer Baptist Church” program in vintage ballpoint pen. King has inscribed the autograph, "Best Wishes Martin Luther King". This is only the second time that this program has ever been available on the autograph market. Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, was founded in 1886. King's father became its pastor in 1931. King became an associate pastor in 1948 and joined his father as co-pastor in 1960. King delivered many of his sermons of nonviolence, encouraging those in his church to trust God to deliver them in the struggle for civil rights, from the Ebenezer pulpit. A must-have for any Martin Luther King Jr. collector. Very good condition. Comes with a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
