[12] In 1948, he graduated from Morehouse with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
sociology, and enrolled in
Crozer Theological Seminary in
Chester, Pennsylvania, from which he graduated with a
Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951.
[13][14] King then began doctoral studies in
systematic theology at
Boston University and received his
Doctor of Philosophy on June 5, 1955, with a dissertation on "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Henry Nelson Wieman." A 1980s inquiry concluded portions of his
dissertation had been
plagiarized and he had acted improperly but that his dissertation still "makes an intelligent contribution to scholarship."

Influences
Populist tradition and Black populism
My first encounter with deeper meanings of populism came when I was nineteen, working as a field secretary for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in
St. Augustine,
Florida in 1964. One day I was caught by five men and a woman who were members of the
Ku Klux Klan. They accused me of being a "
communist and a
Yankee." I replied, "I'm no Yankee – my family has been in the
South since before the
Revolution. And I'm not a communist. I'm a populist.

In an April 4, 1967 appearance at the
New York City Riverside Church—exactly one year before his death—King delivered a speech titled "Beyond Vietnam".
[84] In the speech, he spoke strongly against the U.S.'s role in the war, insisting that the U.S. was in
Vietnam "to occupy it as an American colony"
[85] and calling the U.S. government "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today".
[86] He also argued that the country needed larger and broader moral changes:
A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in
Asia,
Africa and
South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: "This is not just."

King and the SCLC called on the government to invest in rebuilding America's cities. He felt that Congress had shown "hostility to the poor" by spending "military funds with alacrity and generosity".

For his part, King adamantly denied having any connections to Communism, stating in a 1965
Playboy interview that "there are as many Communists in this freedom movement as there are
Eskimos in
Florida",
[159] and claiming that Hoover was "following the path of appeasement of political powers in the South" and that his concern for communist infiltration of the civil rights movement was meant to "aid and abet the salacious claims of southern racists and the extreme right-wing elements".
[153] Hoover did not believe his pledge of innocence and replied by saying that King was "the most notorious liar in the country."
[160] After King gave his "I Have A Dream" speech during the March on Washington on August 28, 1963, the FBI described King as "the most dangerous and effective Negro leader in the country".
[158] In December 1963, FBI officials who were gathered to a special conference alleged that King was "knowingly, willingly and regularly cooperating with and taking guidance from communists" whose long-term strategy was to create of a "Negro-labor" coalition detrimental to American security.

[168] King's biographer
David Garrow detailed what he called King's "compulsive sexual athleticism." Garrow wrote about numerous extramarital affairs, including one with a woman King saw almost daily. According to Garrow, "that relationship, rather than his marriage, increasingly became the emotional centerpiece of King's life, but it did not eliminate the incidental couplings that were a commonplace of King's travels." King explained his extramarital affairs as "a form of anxiety reduction." Garrow noted that King's promiscuity was the cause of "painful and overwhelming guilt".
