The Raging Elephants, a black conservative group in Houston, created the billboard (pictured above), suggesting that Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican. As of July 10th, influential black leaders in Houston protested the work, calling it "deceitful" and a "lie," in hopes of destroying the advertisement.**
Dr. King's niece, Alveda King, has long noted her uncle as a Republican, while King's son continues to suggest that his father resented the Republican party.
