When I look back on a historical basis I found it interesting that Martin Luther King was a Republican.

How so? Here are two leading democrats from that time: Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. Would you think MLK would register to vote with them? Democrats at that time, especially in the south, were all for segregation. Many of them became republicans when it was inevitable.
Ask any southern historian, the republican party of today is the democratic party prior to 1970. The democratic party of today is the same as the republican party prior to 1970.
