I think Martin Luther was declared a heretic not Martin Luther King.
Martin Luther King, the American civil rights leader, was never declared a heretic by the Catholic Church.

His namesake, Martin Luther, a 15th century Catholic monk, was however declared a heretic for teaching ideas and holding positions the Catholic Church understood to be false and a danger to the Faith as taught by the Church. His failure to stop his teaching of matters opposed to Catholic doctrine also brought him the penalty of being excluded from the Catholic community of believers, thus excommunicated.
