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).
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.
