Reply to comment by Kowalski_Analysis in TIL Martin Luther King was born Michael King Jr. However, his father, a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, traveled to Germany and became inspired by the Protestant Reformation leader Martin Luther. As a result, King Sr. changed his own name as well as that of his five year old son. by 54_actual

He was an all around piece of shit. When the peasants revolted against the injustice of feudalism, he sided with the nobles and advocated for slaughtering the insurgents. That is exactly what happened. I have no idea how anyone could see Luther as a role model.
