The Montgomery Story. Address by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, and President of the Montgomery Improvement Association, Montgomery, Alabama by KING, Dr. Martin Luther, Jr - 1956

San Francisco: NAACP Annual Convention, 1956. Softcover. Near Fine. First edition. Five folio leaves mimeographed in blue ink on rectos only, and stapled in the upper left-hand corner. Slight age-toning at extremities, else very near fine. A rare copy of this extremely important address, almost certainly distributed at the event or very shortly thereafter, probably as a press release, and the first printed version of this speech, a watershed moment in the African-American struggle for Civil Rights, and King's first success with nonviolent protest. *OCLC* locates only two copies of this speech (University of California, Berkeley and the University of Michigan). Rare and significant.
