Boston U. Panel Finds Plagiarism by Dr. King
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OCT. 11, 1991
A committee of scholars appointed by Boston University concluded today that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. plagiarized passages in his dissertation for a doctoral degree at the university 36 years ago.
"There is no question," the committee said in a report to the university's provost, "but that Dr. King plagiarized in the dissertation by appropriating material from sources not explicitly credited in notes, or mistakenly credited, or credited generally and at some distance in the text from a close paraphrase or verbatim quotation."
Despite its finding, the committee said that "no thought should be given to the revocation of Dr. King's doctoral degree," an action that the panel said would serve no purpose.
Proof of an action that the panel of DemocRATS was & is protecting a DemocRAT(S).
Thanks for that cite, lest the unaware think the allegation merely right wing blasphemy of ‘St. Marty’.
