Do any of you have a link to a reputable source showing that King was a Republican? I have read most of his works and don’t recall any place where he said that he was a Republican directly.
He may have voted Republican to avoid voting for racist Dems. Is that all we have?

All great black people in American history Republican. To think that MLK would even be allowed to register in the political party that didn't want him to vote, lynched blacks, sicced dogs on him and wouldn't permit him to drink from the same water faucets as they used is preposterous.
MLK = GOP
