What is your opinion on Martin Luther King Jr?
A powerful speaker, a down to earth commoner, a visionary, a catalyst. He was a master at understanding when, and how to move people to action, and to keep negative distractions away. On way, in contrast to what we see today was absolutely NON VIOLENT protesting. No fighting, no fighting back. There was nothing but injustice shown. There was no “but” to be found. He had common, nice, hard working family men and women in his movement. It was so simple, and so unarguably fair, it created a groundswell of support. He also knew of the power of money, so walking instead of riding the bus, crippled a small town income , and one man creating that many followers was important! And the cost was minimal - just let them sit where they are equal! So he also saw the value of small meaningful steps. Which also meant he knew the end game was far off. Our polarizing ,call or nothing attitudes today are the antithesis to his style. His oratory skills, and humble demeanor, and presence amongst his followers, made him entirely believable and approachable. Compare his style to Black Panthers, rioters in Ferguson, black lives matter and other hostile, angry, damaging and separatists, entitlement, language and actions of today. Very little support, because they aren't following his lead.I am so lucky to have grown up around his work and in his time.

How did Martin Luther King Jr. became famous??
The avowed marxist Michael King became famous by lying, cheating, and stealing. Not an original thought ever left this wife-beating communist's filthy mouth. The first public sermon that King ever gave, in 1947 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, was plagiarized from a homily by Protestant clergyman Harry Emerson Fosdick entitled "Life is What You Make It," according to the testimony of King's best friend of that time, Reverend Larry H. Williams. The first book that King wrote, "Stride Toward Freedom, - -was plagiarized from numerous sources, all unattributed, according to documentation recently assembled by sympathetic King scholars Keith D. Miller, Ira G. Zepp, Jr., and David J. Garrow. And no less an authoritative source than the four senior editors of "The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr.- - (an official publication of the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc., whose staff includes King's widow Coretta), stated of King's writings at both Boston University and Crozer Theological Seminary: "Judged retroactively by the standards of academic scholarship, [his writings] are tragically flawed by numerous instances of plagiarism.... Appropriated passages are particularly evident in his writings in his major field of graduate study, systematic theology." King's essay, "The Place of Reason and Experience in Finding God," written at Crozer, pirated passages from the work of theologian Edgar S. Brightman, author of "The Finding of God." Another of King's theses, "Contemporary Continental Theology," written shortly after he entered Boston University, was largely stolen from a book by Walter Marshall Horton. King's doctoral dissertation, "A Comparison of the Conceptions of God in the Thinking of Paul Tillich and Harry Nelson Wieman," for which he was awarded a PhD in theology, contains more than fifty complete sentences plagiarized from the PhD dissertation of Dr. Jack Boozer, "The Place of Reason in Paul Tillich's Concept of God." According to "The Martin Luther King Papers", in King's dissertation "only 49 per cent of sentences in the section on Tillich contain five or more words that were King's own...."!

Why do some use the names Martin Luther, Martin Luther King, and Martin Luther King Jr. interchangeably, as though they were the same person?
"One of these things is not like the other one, one of these things just does not belong....""Martin Luther" is a different person than "Martin Luther King", and so if "some" use the name interchangeably, they are wrong.Martin Luther - , 1483 - 1546. Martin Luther King, Jr. - 1929 - 1968.I assume you're talking about the latter person. If so, then his full name is the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Quite a mouthful. So people shorten it to "MLK", or "King", or "Martin Luther King". That's all. Just as people say "FDR" or sometimes "Roosevelt" instead of "Franklin Delano Roosevelt".
Was Martin Luther King Jr a Republican or a Democrat?
There are no voter registration records (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's home state of Georgia did not have registration by party back then - so allegiance to a political party depended on which primaries a voter chose to cast a ballot in), and there is no paper record of MLK’s political affiliations. He also chose to keep his voting choices to himself, so there is not one person who can say with 100% certainty that he ever cast a ballot for one party, or the other - with many testifying that King made a point to hold no concrete political affiliation.MLK never endorsed any political candidate, and in a 1958 interview, he said: “I don't think the Republican party is a party full of the almighty God nor is the Democratic party. They both have weaknesses … And I'm not inextricably bound to either party.”Martin Luther King, Jr. And The Republican Party - this is an interesting that makes both the arguments that MLK was Republican and Democrat.
