MLKJ a republican?
i new there was the billboard thing about it, but never knew him to be on any side of politics. i knew there was something about his dad eing republican and his dad and JFK. and MLKJ and LBJ (man that's a lot of initials) worked together in some way.
I found this article, don't know the log or how legit it is, but it seems resonable

Civil rights was the big turning point between the Republicans and Democrats of today versus those of the past. Before Kennedy, the Dems had strong southern support, which often meant a lack of support of civil rights issues. Once the Kennedy-era Democrats started supporting civil rights legislation, a lot of then-Democrats went Republican. Strom Thurmond was one of the big ones to do that in 1964.
