"...at the Presbyterian Historical Society, there are quite a few items in the archives about Dr. King, which have been gathered together into a Subject File. Included in that collection of ephemera is Volume 4, Number 4 of 'Religion & Values in Public Life,' a newsletter published by the Harvard Divinity School. The headlining article in this Summer 1996 edition of the newsletter is 'Martin Luther King and the Reinvention of Christianity in Modern America.' The Subject File consists of various articles, publications, and educational materials related to the life and work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with creation dates that range from 1974 through 1997. These documents live in the Katie Geneva Cannon collection within [the Presbyterian Historical Society Archives]."
