Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Service Flag
SOLD
Item Details
1968
Small printed paper memorial flag, approximately 9" x 4 3/4", mounted on a slender wooden dowel, featuring a formal portrait of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. surrounded by the inscription "Martin Luther King Jr. 1929-1968 / Nobel Peace prize", with the same image and inscription printed on both sides. Accompanied by a handwritten provenance statement dated June 23, 1969, identifying the flag as having been handed out at King's public funeral service in Atlanta, which the writer mistakenly dates April 9, 1969 rather than the correct date of April 9, 1968; she recounts being twelve years old and participating in the funeral procession with her parents, Mary and Dennis Percy. An uncommon and evocative piece of MLK memmorial ephemera with unusually early firsthand provenance.
