MLK Jr's sons want to SELL his bible(used to swear in Obama) and noble prize (Kennedy, how much)

[ChefRamsey]

Thoughts? What symbols will this send to the black community in America? I think it's atrocious. I'm glad the sister is trying to stop it.

Defiling the Bible by Obama's swearing-in on it, isn't enough to detract from the great work done by King with that book as his guide.

Likewise, the long list of genocidal murderers (Arafat) and lying do-nothings (Obama) who got Nobel Prizes strictly for PC purposes, should not detract from the honestly great things King did to get it.

Why do the sons have possession? Did King leave these items to them in his will?

Perhaps the sister could buy the items from the sons? Maybe set up some charity to collect money to buy them from the sons?

There will be riots in the streets and frogs and locusts will rain down on us all.

How much could they get for the Peace Prize & the Bible?

[Bulldogdad]

The items belong to the estate which the brothers are in charge of managing.

Wonder if Rick from Pawn Stars is the private buyer

In this case there is a conflict within the family but generally I have no problems with descendants selling off family heirlooms and taking the cash.

I would support donating/selling to a museum (particularly the AA one opening in DC), but to a private buyer? No. No cool.

Well the sister doesn't want to sell it so this may all be conjecture but if they want to sell it they should. The Kennedy clan has been selling crap for decades now.
