==Education and plagiarization accusations ==
King was educated at [[Boston University]], where he earned his advanced degree in theology. Years later, a committee of scholars appointed by the university concluded that some passages in his PhD dissertation had been plagiarized,<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/11/us/boston-u-panel-finds-plagiarism-by-dr-king.html Boston U. Panel Finds Plagiarism by Dr. King] but perhaps not deliberately.
- October 11, 1991</ref>
A book about the [[plagiarism]] was published by Pappas.<ref>[https://www.amazon.com/Martin-Luther-King-Plagiarism-Story/dp/0961936452 The Martin Luther King Plagiarism Story]</ref>
According to Ron Grossman, a ''Chicago Tribune'' staff writer:
*In 1990, rumors went around the professorial cocktail-party circuit that scholars preparing an edition of Martin Luther King Jr.'s papers had come across disturbing instances of plagiarism. Pappas got hold of King's doctoral thesis in theology and that of a certain Jack Boozer, who had preceded King as a graduate student at Boston University, laid them side by side and discovered that, indeed, King had cribbed whole sections.
