Well if those two things are dishonest and IF he did them he was dishonest.
But let you who is without sin cast the first stone.
Dr. King did more to get a movement restarted than anyone else. A movement that went basically nowhere in 100 years since the American Civil War. Like him or dislike him, honest or dishonest, he is a man who made things possible and made things happen. He gave his life for the effort. I wish there were more dishonest people like him.

I'm not sure what purpose asking this question serves, if not to promote racial tensions and create controversial argumentation. Martin Luther King was a profound example of a good christian who stood for what he believed in. He is a legend for many different reasons which is undeniable.
To even suggest that such a man would have cheated on his wife is ridiculously stupid. He brought millions of people together for the benefit of social justice and social equality. MLK Jr. NEVER plagiarized anything and to suggest this is merely an attempt by white supremacists to discredit this man's humanitarian efforts and works.
Wherever you heard/read this from knows nothing of what they are saying and are certainly not discussing information from a scholarly perspective as this information is purely false.

MLK was dishonest.
Because he plagiarised heavily while writing his doctorate, and was caught, (Bravo!) Boston University withdrew his doctorate.
Plagiarism is a form of theft, and this surely sits oddly with MLK's avowed Christian principles.
It isn't a very spontaneous form of theft either. It is necesarily considered- it takes time to execute. It isn't like stealing an apple from the display outside a grocer's store. As such it is considerably less easliy dismissed, as a rashness, foolishness etc.
Interestingly, it seems likely that he was encouraged to to the Doctorate because of his race, depite the fact that his intellectual shortcomings were known- an early example of Positive Discrimination at work.
His reputation is undeserved and should be reassessed.
P.S. I posted a similar question recently which was removed, under the spurious grounds that the weblink I included was a from of advertising!

He was human. He was a wonderful man. He made mistakes, but the good he did always outweighed the bad.

He may have been a sinner, but he was a good man.
