Sutton With gratitude for your support, and with warmest good wishes Coretta Scott King." Presentation Copy of the paperback edition of King's book published by Avon, better known for its romance novels. This copy was given to G.J. Sutton, the first Black official elected to office in San Antonio, Texas (a federal building there bears his name) and the brother of Percy Sutton, who served as Malcolm X's lawyer and was the owner of the famed Apollo Theater.
