(CIVIL RIGHTS.) KING, MARTIN LUTHER JR. King's signed Mitchell Street Bank ID card. Partially printed 4 x 6 inch card accomplished by hand, with king's bold signature at the top; his business address filled out. Atlanta, 1965
A typical bank identification card, recorded on 24 September, 1965, with an opening balance of $500.00. The name on the card is given as "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." King gave as his "business address" 334 Auburn Ave, N.E. Atlanta. 334 Auburn Avenue was originally the address of the old Prince Hall Masonic Temple. During the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the building was used as a meeting place for the Montgomery Improvement Association, led by King, its first president. As boycotts spread across the South, it became the national headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Council. It is now a part of the National Register of Historic Places.
