Belafonte pulls King papers from auction
This undated photo released by Sotheby's auction house in New York shows an April 5, 1968, letter of condolence from President Lyndon B. Johnson to Coretta Scott King after the assassination of her husband Martin Luther King Jr. The letter and two other manuscripts, which Sotheby's had planned to sell on behalf of entertainer Harry Belafonte Thursday, Dec. 11, 2008, has been pulled from the auction over objections by King's estate, which disputes Belafonte's ownership of the works.
