MLK’s handwritten ‘I Have a Dream’ draft to be shown in Atlanta for one week
The only known handwritten final draft of MLK’s speech will be displayed at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights from Nov. 16-22.
The only known handwritten final draft of Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic 'I Have a Dream' speech will be publicly exhibited in Atlanta for the first time, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.
The seven-page manuscript will be on display at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights from November 16 through November 22, according to FOX 5 Atlanta and WSB-TV.
After the week-long exhibit in Atlanta, the draft will be auctioned by Christie’s in New York on January 22, 2027, with an expected sale price exceeding $10 million, FOX 5 Atlanta noted.
The draft was preserved by Edward T. Clayton, who worked closely with King, and its public showing in Atlanta marks a significant local cultural event, WSB-TV added.
