Heirs must turn over Corretta Scott King papers

    The Rev. Bernice King and Martin Luther King III
must turn over 11 boxes of their mother’s personal papers to a
special master.

    The records are the focus of a legal battle between the heirs of
Mrs. King and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. over who controls the
documents. They must be turned over by 5 p.m. Tuesday.

    The third sibling, Dexter, heads King Inc., which controls the
intellectual property to their father’s work.

    Bernice King and Martin Luther King III are board members of the
family company. They argue that some of the records are too
personal to be made public. They had been instructed to hand over
80 boxes of records, but Special Master William B. Hill extended
the deadline and lawyers cut the number to 11.
