I recall that a review of MLK's PhD showed it was cribbed from someone named "Jack Boozer". Don't know about his divinity degree - good chance he stole the work for that too.

Call him "Mister King" in discussions with liberals. A sure fire start to a fun exchange of facts.

MLK's PhD showed it was cribbed

New York Times ran a front page story documenting it, on Nov. 10, 1990.

The Times even ran a side-by-sie comparison of excerpts from King's and Boozer's dissertations. It was devastating.

The Times article predicted: "But it is not likely, even if plagiarism is proved, that the Ph.D. degree would be revoked, because neither Dr. King nor his dissertation adviser is alive to defend the work."

And Boston University did not revoke his Ph.D.

MLK also borrowed sections of his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech from one given at the 1952 Republican convention by Archibald Carey.
