The hidden price of hawking history
Heirs' sale of King papers sets dangerous precedent, could lead others 
to put private profit over public gain

BY DAVID J. GARROW
David J. Garrow, a senior fellow at Cambridge University, is the author 
of "Bearing the Cross," a biography of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. 
This is from the Los Angeles Times.
July 5, 2006

A consortium of Atlanta-based corporations, led by Mayor Shirley 
Franklin, has bought a collection of the papers of the Rev. Martin 
Luther King Jr. from Sotheby's auction house for $32 million. The sale 
pre-empts a public auction of the items that had been scheduled for 
Friday.
