If worthiness is what you’ve been looking for in my posts regarding docterates, you done been lookin fer the wrong thing. The ole timer is not lookin fer worthiness in anybody. As a Christian, a fellers worthiness comes from Christ.I can tell ya what constitutes a legitimately earned docterate, an what smacks of a worthless millish speepskin.Now in the case of MLKJr, he earned a docterate. And while I haven’t researched it personally, from everything I’ve read, it was discovered post-mortem, that he had heavily plagiarized his dissertation. This is unethical, and often results in revoking the degree. However, MLKJr was already dead when it was discovered. Nevertheless, there are many within academic circles who believe the docterate should have been revoked post-mortem, and that the only reason it wasn’t is because of the status he had attained as a civil rights martyr.Was his docterate legit? Is a plagiarized dissertation considered legit?Now, I don’t know this to be the case, but if you’re asking the ole timer Did MLKJr deserve a docterate just for his civil rights activity? — Absolutely Not!!!!!!As I said, I did not research his dissertation myself, but if it was indeed plagiarized, his own unethical activity of plagiarism would forfeit the docterate.
Where did he get his doctorate?Was the school accredited when he received it?If it wasn’t – does plagiarism even matter?Also…Surely all doctoral research from 50+ years ago could be researched easily for plagiarism now – I wonder why they are not?Did they only research the plagiarism because he was black – just as they only bugged his hotel room because he was black________________
and I found it disturbing.I am sure some artistic license was employed in the portrayal of LBJ and George Wallace and others, but nevertheless, the senseless brutality made me fume. How can anyone be so cruel?Excerpts from MLK’s speeches were remarkable. He certainly had command of a vocabulary and a persuasive style.He, nor his wife, were portrayed as saints or martyrs.Did he earn his doctorate? Doesn’t matter to me and it won’t amount to a hill of beans to any of us 100 years from now________________God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led
