Historical records for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference are now housed at Emory University in Atlanta. Documents include sympathy cards when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, drafts of speeches and photographs. The SCLC was co-founded in 1957 by Dr. King and other African American leaders from across the South with the purpose of advancing the cause of racial equality. Emory purchased the material but will not disclose for what price.
