KING, Martin Luther, Jr. Typed letter signed ("Martin L. King, Jr.," with flourish) to Marie Rodell, Ebenezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, 25 April 1961.

One page, 265 x 182 mm, Ebenezer Baptist Church letterhead, (light original mailing folds).

Urging an article on sit-ins. "I am in receipt of the statement concerning the new fact-opinion feature of the Saturday Evening Post. I think it would be good for you again to explore the idea of doing the article on the justifiability of the sit-ins, or the justifiability of breaking an unjust law. I am sure I will think of other topics that may be useful later on. But I would like for you to explore this one with them now." Rodell (1912-1995) was a noted literary agent, best known for her work managing the work of Rachael Carson. She also served as King's agent for his first book, Stride Toward Freedom (1958).
