Martin Luther King is Martin Luther King Jr.'s dad.

The original Martin Luther was originally a Catholic monk who disagreed with certain practices of the church and became the founder of the Lutheran Church. It's likely there's a Biblical connection to the name.

Martin Luther was the founder of Lutheranism and touched-off the Reformation in l5l7. He4 was a German monk of the Augustinian order before (setting up) his own denomination. Luther was an avid and studious Bible Scholar- in fact he was responsible for a popular German translation when he was in protective custody in Wartburg ( not the East German automobile!) Luther aimed at national autonomy on a religious front ( Germans should have a German-speaking church) so to speak and had strong patriotic ( Mighty Fortress is our God) inclinations. Martin Luther King was a Black Baptist minister born in l929 (or thereabouts) and tragically assassinated in l968. He was intimately involved in the Civil Rights Movement. MLK was a Baptist, not a Lutheran, he did not start his own denomination, certainly. There you have it, Two historical men of the Cloth.
