While working on his dissertation for his doctoral degree at
Boston University, he heavily plagiarized from another author who
had done research on a subject similar to King's. An academic committee
later found that over half of King's work was plagiarized, yet would not
revoke his doctorate. King was dead by this time, and the committee ruled that revoking the title would serve no purpose. It was also discovered that King's famous I HAVE A DREAM speech was also not his own. He stole
it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950s.

It was also discovered that King's famous I HAVE A DREAM speech was also not his own. He stole it from a sermon by Archibald Carey, a popular black preacher in the 1950s.

You leave out an important fact. Archibald Carey delivered his "Let Freedom Ring" speech (as he called his version of it) at the 1952 Republican convention, among other places.

It's really not a bad speech, no matter what Sobran says.
