Martin Luther King Jr.’s Blue Spiral Notebook

Since today is the Martin Luther King holiday, it crossed my mind to wonder if I could find any photos of notebooks he used… and sure enough, I did! And it’s quite wonderful.

As described on the King Center’s website:

“Contained in this notebook is a draft of Dr. King’s statement to Judge James E. Webb following his arrest during the Rich’s Magnolia Tea Room Sit-In. There is also an outline of a letter to female students who were arrested during the sit-in. On other pages a child practices handwriting.”
