I don't think King plagiarized his "I Have A Dream" speech. From what I have read, he may have copied a very small portion of the speech from another work, but that doesn't make the speech plagiarized.

I do not think this man deserves his own holiday though. Adulterers don't deserve a hero status.

I do not know anything of the plagiaries.

I do know that I question the integrity of the man as I do of JFK.

King was one of the most significant Americans of the 20th Century. The civil rights movement was in fact a kind of revolution, almost a civil war. Like all revolutionaries he created disrespect for the law both among his enemies and his followers. But he had guts. He lived more than ten years with the knowledge that he could die at any moment. Yet he carried on. Only one Southerner of the century surpassed him in boldness: Huey Long.
