This Autographed 6x9.5 White House Envelope Framed Display has been Personally Signed by Martin Luther King. This item is 100% Authentic and comes with a PSA/DNA Certification Card and a matching numbered Hologram. The authenticity can be verified on Professional Sports Authenticator website. This item has been professionally framed to overall dimensions of approximately 34x43 inches. Jackie “Moms” Mabley used humor to escape her orphan childhood in turn-of-the-century North Carolina. Joining a vaudeville group, Mabley sang and joked her way from rural roadhouses in the south all the way to New York’s Broadway. She became known as “Moms,” both because of her matronly affection towards her younger colleagues, and for the frumpy house dress-wearing character she portrayed in her stand-up comedy routine. Mobley broke barriers not only as an African-American and female comedian, but also as one of the first openly gay entertainers when she came out as a lesbian before World War II. By the 1960’s she had appeared on stage at Carnegie Hall and was a sought-after guest for television shows such as the Smothers Brothers.As a respected entertainer and trail blazer in so many categories, Moms Mabley was invited to attend the White House Conference on Civil Rights in June of 1966. This event was held to continue the momentum of the Civil Rights Movement in the wake of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This is Moms’ envelope that contained her invitation to the event. The official White House envelope is postmarked May 15, 1966, and has been signed “Best Wishes Martin Luther King.” The Reverend King was of course a participant in the two-day event, and it can be assumed that Mabley had MLK Jr. sign her envelope during the conference. The aged piece of paper shows some toning and light staining throughout and has been framed.
