Typed document signed ("Martin Luther King, Jr."), Los Angeles, 24 March 1961, 2pp, 4to, carbon typescript , memorandum of agreement between King and Educational Communications Corporation. STAGE AND SCREEN ADAPTATIONS OF STRIDE TOWARD FREEDOM . KING AND HIS AGENT DISCUSS DRAMATIC AND CINEMATIC VERSIONS OF HIS BOOK: 14 November 1958 : he instructs Rodell to grant permission to Phyllis Beardsley to mount a dramatic version of Stride , to be performed before church groups: "This is a non-profit outfit," King says, "which means there would probably be no financial arrangements involved. However, they are doing a very effective job and if it would not interfere with other film and television rights, I would like to give them permission to do the play." 6 March 1961 : concerning negotiations with the Educational Communications Corporation (ECC) over film rights: "I am quite in accord with the offer that is being proposed. As you say, it is not a brilliant offer but it is about as good as can be expected from this type of outfit." The 24 March 1961 document is a carbon of the final agreement between King and the ECC. The fall of 1958 was a hectic and very nearly fatal chapter in King's life. While promoting Stride at a Harlem department store in September, he was stabbed by a deranged woman and nearly died. After his recovery he found it impossible to continue his Dexter Avenue pastorship, so he resigned and moved to Atlanta, becoming co-pastor of his father's church, Ebenezer Baptist. "I hated to leave Montgomery," King wrote in his autobiography, "but...the call from the whole South was one that could not be denied. This was the creative moment for a full-scale assault on the system of segregation. The time had come for a bold, broad advance of the Southern campaign for equality." Together three items . (3)
