Additional Details

This event was billed as "A Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.," and was the annual dinner of the Joint Negro Appeal of Chicago. This program includes a short biography of King, and the night's speaking program. King was introduced by his friend Cirilo McSween, director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and just a few months later one of King's pallbearers. The rear page lists the officers and directors of the Negro Appeal, including future congressman Ralph Metcalfe, and baseball icon Ernie Banks. The program was signed for the consignor's father, who was a friend of several Appeal directors.
