- PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC
PRESIDENT KENNEDY MOST HISTORIC CIVIL RIGHTS NOTEThis note showcases President John F. Kennedy writing the last names King, Abernathy, and Wilkins on his gold-embossed Aboard Air Force One stationery. JFK was obviously referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, who headed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Roy Wilkins, president of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). Exactly sixty years ago, during the summer of 1963, Kennedy became the first president since Abraham Lincoln to address the civil rights agenda nationwide. The riots in Birmingham with police dogs and fire hoses; George Wallace's face-down with Nicholas Katzenbach over two blacks wishing to enroll at the University of Alabama; the killing of four young black girls at a church bombing in Birmingham; the August 28th Freedom March at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.; and the eventual assassination of Kennedy himself dominated the 1963 news.
The late Evelyn Lincoln called it one of the most critical doodles ever sketched by John Fitzgerald Kennedy!
Provenance: comes from the John Burke Jovich collection. World-renowned US Presidential Historian.
JFK's personal secretary during his senatorial and White House years, Evelyn Lincoln, was a dear friend of mine. She frequently reminded Kennedy to pass on his doodles and notes, all unofficial documents, to his friend Congressman Mike Kirwan. Evelyn and her husband Abe (Harold) Lincoln, reviewed every one of JFK's doodles in my Kirwan collection during my visit at their Chevy Chase, MD home back in the early 1990s. She never questioned their authenticity, and her vivid memory of Kennedy scrawling some of the documents brought tears to her eyes. Evelyn was the expert at deciphering the late president's difficult to read handwriting

Brought up as a Lutheran he made every effort to secure peace between various religious factions including arranging marriages of his children to those of other faiths. Martin Luther (1483-1546) is credited with sparking the Protestant Reformation with the issuing of his 95 Theses on All Hallow's Eve 1517. There had been other Christian reformers and some see Luther's role as building on a foundation that was already in place. Luther would assert among other things that one cannot buy one's way into heaven (through indulgences) but that forgiveness / salvation came from God through faith in Jesus and that the pope did not have the exclusive right to interpret scripture. So he set about making changes that would bring people back into involvement in the church - he translated the New Testament and later the Old Testament into everyday German and wrote hymns that people could sing in services. He increasingly found himself bogged down in the organization of the new church. Many other reformers of the day thought Luther too conservative but he decided to retain a semblance of familiarity in worship. He also wrote catechisms to educate adults as well as children. By 1530 or so the first efforts to collect Luther's writings and sermons into a coherent volume has begun. This volume postdates Luther's death in 1546 but barely by a generation for the first part. It is also an early example of German printing and fancy binding. Condition: Vellum a bit stiff as are leather clasp hinges. Minor toning. Overall complete and stable. A couple margin notes in index section in older (iron gall) ink.
