1. Like pretty much any public figure who was prominent on the American political and social scene, the question should be which MLK and when? The MLK of 1968, the year of his assasination, was intellectually a different man in may ways than the one in Montgomery in 1955. He no doubt, in either year, agreed that all lives matter but he would very likely have supported Black Lives Matter because, by 1968, he recognized that direct action required even stronger measures to advance the civil rights movement. By 1968 he was already being outpaced by the Black Power movement which was a kind of predecessor to Black Lives Matter.
