From Crozer to Boston



King ended his time at Crozer in June 1951, when he graduated first in his class with a B.A. in Divinity. The seminary prize for this achievement was a $1,300 scholarship to attend any college that he chooses. The 22-year-old headed north to work on hid Ph.D at Boston University, so his father showed his proud ness by giving him a green Chevrolet car. When he entered Boston University, King decided to study Christianity and get the chance to understand it more; he also got to learn about Islam and psychology. By spring 1953, he had completed all of his courses and decided to stay in Boston to finish his Ph.D thesis.
