MLK’s pastor father was hugely enamored of Martin Luther after a trip to Europe.
He did legally change his OWN name to Martin Luther King but only TOLD his congregation:
Call me Martin Luther King Senior, call my son Martin Luther King Junior.
MLK junior did gain that appelation but legally his name remained MIKE KING.
He did sometimes beat the prostitutes he hired. And he plagiarized very many parts of his PhD thesis and a little less than half of his first book, Striding Towards Freedom.
It was all serious enough that Boston College looked into the matter but blanched at the thought of retracting his degree; the matter was laid to rest.
He did attend a commie training camp, though maybe unwittingly, and most of his speeches were written for him by a wealthy Jewish car dealer from the south, a political activist.
That’s how the FBI became interested in MLK; originally they were after this speech writer fellow, who was a big-time commie.
Stanley Levison (not LeviNson), close associate of MLK.
This was the guy the FBI was really, really interested in.
You can find very few photos of them together.
