Photograph
(1987). 8" x 10" glossy photo of Ralph Abernathy. SIGNED by Abernathy ("Best wishes Ralph David Abernathy 2-10-87"). "The first two words ("Best wishes") are carelessly rendered but that is what it seems intended to be. Abernathy was a civil rights activist who was described by Martin luther King, Jr. as "the best friend I have in the world." Abernathy succeeded King as President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and served in that capacity for nine years. His later life was a little odd -- he endorsed Ronald Reagan for President in 1980 instead of Jimmy Carter and got involved with the Unification Church in the 1980s. Near Fine. Item #94897
