Considering the kind of legislation the Dixiecrats had enacted against the black population dating back to the Reconstruction era and the association with well-known segregationists like George Wallace and Strom Thurmond to the Democrat party it's not inconceivable that MLK was a Republican.
All of the black senators and congressmen elected during the reconstruction era were Republican.
So what if MLK was a republican? The republican party of the Civil Rights era is not the Republican party of today. Same can be said for the Democrat party.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
