50% of his PhD thesis was plagiarized and he regularly cheated on his wife and used prostitutes, many of whom he beat up.

I know a woman who was having an affair with one of MLK's buddies at the time. She was from Harlem, pretty, young, and smart, and helped re-write the "Dream" speech the night before. She says he was a "country bumpkin," as in dumb as a rock.

I never asked her about the prostitutes... lol
