The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 78th birthday in January will feature a gift to the city: the first public viewing of more than 10,000 of his documents, notes and other personal items.

Pieces of the King Collection—from a term paper he wrote as a student at Atlanta's Morehouse College to a draft of his "I Have A Dream" speech—will be on display at the Atlanta History Center.

"The Martin Luther King Jr. Collection is home," said Mayor Shirley Franklin yesterday after helping acquire the papers from New York–based Sotheby's auction house. (AP)
