James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was not officially a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but he had connections to white supremacist groups. His motives for killing King were rooted in racism and a desire to undermine the Civil Rights Movement. While there are allegations of his ties to extremist organizations, definitive evidence linking him directly to the KKK is lacking. Ray's actions were driven by his own extremist beliefs rather than formal affiliation with any specific group.

What is the Klu Klux Klan?

The KKK was an pseudo-lodge imitating the Knights of Malta. They held not a glimmer of The Great Work nor The Great Truth. In fact their philosophy is nothing but "Survival-of-the-fittest\mob-rule" via racism. I suppose that if you wish to dignify them with a tribal name, they are the Redneck tribe.
