Photograph signed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Civil Rights hero smiles warmly as a waitress behind a restaurant counter clasps his hands while two gleeful children look on. He inscribes the countertop: ''To Sister Mary / With Best Wishes / Martin Luther King Jr.'' with green ink. Sister Mary, from Cleveland, opened the Sister Mary's Smokehouse and was married to Ronald Bey, a purported racketeer for the Cleveland mob. 10'' x 8'' semi-matte photo is chipped to lower right and lightly creased. Some paper loss to verso. Overall very good condition.
