Why was Martin Luther King Jr. named after an anti-Semite?

Indeed, Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church, was an anti-Semite, but like many people with deep flaws, he also did other things. Anti-semitism was not a central feature of Lutheran belief or of his life's work, and in the pre-World-War-II era when King was born, many people were not aware of Martin Luther's antisemitism, while just about everyone knew of his role in the Protestant Reformation. There is no doubt that King's parents named him for Martin Luther in his role as a reformer, not for his role as an antisemite.

The two only share a common first name, but their last names are completely different. One is 'Luther' the other is 'King', and one lived in the 1500s, and the other from 1928 (in utero) to April 4, 1968. One was German and the other American. One was white and the other black. They are in no way related if I haven't made it clear enough. Martin Luther King Jr's father, Martin Luther King, was named after Martin Luther.

What is the term Protestant Reformation from?

The term "Protestant Reformation" refers specifically to the period in 16th century Europe where Martin Luther and other figures in the Church declared "independence" from the Catholic Church on account of perceived or actual grievances against them. This resulted in the formation of numerous Protestant churches such as the Lutheran, Calvinist, Anabaptist, and Anglican churches.


Who started the protestant reformantion?

Really there is no "Protestant religion." It is a broad term often used by 1. Roman Catholics to refer to all other Christians who are not Roman Catholic 2. non-historic, non-denominational Christians who have no other formal title and 3. Non-Roman Catholic, Non-Eastern Orthodox Christians who want to clearly distinguish themselves as non-Roman Catholic. Others protested before him, but Martin Luther can be credited with the first truly revolutionary reformation movement. That being said, Lutherans have more in common with Roman Catholics, in belief and practice, than with the other modern Protestant Churches. Many Lutherans reject the label "Protestant," since it lumps them with the modern Evangelical movement. The Lutheran and Anglican Churches are the products of conservative reform movements. All other non-Roman Catholic and non-Eastern Orthodox churches are the product of radical reformation movements. Luther and his colleagues rejected the teachings of the founders of these radical Protestant movements as vehemently as he rejected the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church of his day.
