The civil rights icon and [[Nobel Peace Prize]] winner, [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]], who has a federal holiday established in his honor in 1986 was posthumously accused in 1989 of undeniable plagiarism in his [[Boston University]] doctoral dissertation entitled, ”A Comparison of the Conception of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman." Among other scholars who wrote on the topic was Jack Boozer, who penned a paper three years before King did so. This was long before a website was created for checking plagiarism. Boston University appointed a panel to determine if King's doctorate should be revoked, but the panel members decided to take n o action, and his works were not removed from libraries as is usually the case if a work lacks appropriate citations of sources.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://unicheck.com/blog/martin-luther-king-plagiarized|title=The Martin Luther King You Didn’t Know: Plagiarism Test States “Guilty!”|date=May 19, 2015|accessdate=March 27, 2020}}</ref>
