Jimmy Carter to mediate in King legacy dispute

Former US president Jimmy Carter is stepping in to help resolve a legal battle over Martin Luther King Jr’s travelling bible and 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.

The civil rights icon’s estate, which is controlled by his sons, last year asked a judge to order their sister to surrender the items. In a board of directors meeting last year, Martin Luther King III and Dexter Scott King voted against Bernice King to sell the two artefacts to a private buyer.
