His legal name never was Martin Luther King, Jr.; it was Mike King.
He plagiarized most of his PhD thesis; Dr. King..? Yeah, whatever.
He plagiarized major portions of his first book, Striding Towards Freedom.
Most of his speeches were written for him by a communist car dealer, a man the FBI was hugely afraid of and interested in.
Was his cause just? Was he hugely charismatic? Of course.
He also liked to sleep with and then beat-up women on a very regular basis.
Just wondering....
Yes sir.
Well, he was good enough for Coretta!
WHAT??? His name was Mike King and he beat up women?? Come on!
Mike King? Do you have a source on that?
I know he plagiarized and womanized.
A source on the beating up women too?
Thanks.
Okay, a quick google got me to his father having traveled to Germany, become inspired by Martin Luther, and then legally changed his and his five-year-old son’s name.
So correct, but not some sort of fraud that MLKJ pulled, as implied.
Oh, and it was indeed his legal name, given to him by his father.
Boy those black leaders sho ain’t changed much
