Interesting Point:

Firstly, in a realistic sense, they were not connected at all, King never said he had any influence from Luther.

However you can see similarities- King was fighting against what he saw as wrong, and arguably wanted a social, racial reformation whilst Luther wanted a social religious reformation.

About 500 years apart though.
