This album page has been warmly signed & inscribed by Martin Luther King, Jr. in blue ballpoint: "With best wishes and warm regards. Let us all continue the work for the cause of peace, Martin Luther King." Originally obtained from a book, "Vi Kan Inte Vanta [Why We Can't Wait]', addressed to "Paul Rimmerfors" and dated December 13, 1964. Rimmerfors was the president of the Swedish Peace Youth Association and invited King to Stockholm after he received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in December 1964. On December 13, thousands of young people participated in a procession and listened to the celebrated civil rights activist give an address outside the Stockholm Cathedral. Katarine Taikon, an advocate for the Roma community, also spoke about her people's struggle at the event. A superb example dating to the time of King's Nobel Prize, enhanced by its lengthy inscription. Authenticated & encapsulated by PSA/DNA, with the autograph receiving a grade of MINT 9!
