She always gets the job done. She raised $32 million in 2 weeks, and I don't think that Sotheby's has ever halted an auction.

"Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin was in the nation's capital during King's "I Have a Dream" speech, which explains in part why she mobilized a stunning last-minute fundraising effort to purchase the entire collection of King papers and halt an auction of the collection."
