It depends on the area. There are several MLK streets near here and business are fine as they are not in heavy black areas.
Larger cities with heavy black areas have a problem.
Years ago, Tulsa OK designated the northern bypass I-244, as the MLK Memorial Expressway, and placed BIG signs up at each end of it.
Every time we went by those signs, the number of bullet holes had increased till the signs looked like Swiss cheese and were replaced and put on overhead signs. (I did not put any of those holes in the signs).

I can’t imagine the KKK in Oklahoma would want to see a MLK sign so this does not surprise me.
How'd you like to run the local Hampton Inn, and have that designated change show up in travelers' guidebooks? Arrgh.
