Reminds me of another politically correct plagiarist, Alex Haley.
What I love about Haley is that he took someone else's fictional story and passed it off as his own non-fiction family biography. Chutzpah!
Here's his statue in Baltimore (naturally).

I like the Haley memorial. Too bad he didn’t deserve it!
The Times really went off the reservation in their King story. It also had this:
“In 1989, the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, in his autobiography ‘And the Walls Came Tumbling Down,’ published by Harper & Row, stated that Dr. King engaged in extramarital sex on the night before he was killed.”
Kching!
I’m transcribing from the actual clipping, which I saved, expecting the story to vanish down the memory hole.
That is actually at the inner harbor pool in Annapolis Md every time I pass that monstrosity I am enraged. The idiot mayor at the time allowed that to occur. She should have been run out of town
I have to give some credit to Alex Haley. Before he died, he and I were working on an article to be published about the Union atrocities committed by Tennessee Unionists in West Tennessee. In one case Union Tennessee Cavalry captured Confederates and killed one at every mile marker for twenty miles, even skinning a couple of them alive. Put this in the context of Ft. Pillow a few months later for a better understanding of the hatred for these Unionists by Confederates. When he died my information and contacts all dried up because the information was damning and contrary to the current conscience of the war. Alex Haley was enthusiastic about having these incidents better known.
