(CNN) Just in time for Valentine's Day, a rare handwritten note by Martin Luther King Jr. on the meaning of love has been discovered. The note, believed to be from sometime in the mid-1960s, is up for sale through the memorabilia company Moments in Time. While the note's sale price of $42,000 may seem steep, Gary Zimet, CEO of Moments in Time, says the price reflects just how rare it is to find a handwritten note by the renowned civil rights leader. Other than inscriptions in (typed) letters and books, finding a handwritten note is very rare," Zimet said. According to Zimet, King wrote the note after someone asked him what he believed was the meaning of love.
