Is it true that Martin Luther King Jr. earned a PhD in systematic theology from Boston University in 1955?
Yes. A Wikipedia biography states King began doctoral studies in systematic theology at Boston University in 1951 and received his PhD on June 5, 1955, and an ERIC biography confirms a doctorate in theology from Boston University in 1955.
