New York — Sotheby’s in New York has withdrawn from auction three important papers related to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. after the King estate objected, claiming the documents being offered for sale by singer-actor Harry Belafonte were actually the property of the estate.

Belafonte himself asked that the papers be withdrawn from today’s sale, said Lauren Gioia, a Sotheby’s spokeswoman. The auction house did not comment further.
