Curry attacked the civil rights leader because she had delusions that he and the NAACP were watching her and preventing her from holding a job
Curry was originally sent to Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and spent many years living anonymously despite the 1958 attack at Blumstein's Department Store in Harlem.
She was also carrying a loaded pistol in her bra at the time.
Dr King survived the incident at Blumstein's Department Store, where he was signing his first book Stride Toward Freedom, by fractions of an inch.
The knife came close to puncturing his aorta and he could have died at the store if bystanders had taken the weapon out of his chest before his three-hour surgery.
He referred to the incident in his I've Been To The Mountaintop speech, the last remarks he gave before his assassination on April 4, 1968 by James Earl Ray.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner said that if he had sneezed then he would have died after being stabbed by the 'demented black woman'.
