One has to wonder what things would have been like today, had that son-of-a-bitch not shot him in Memphis.
As Sherrod Brown also points out, King wasnt just working for Social justice, he was working for Economic justice, too (though I suppose you could say that economic justice is social justice). When he was killed in Memphis he was there on behalf of that city's badly underpaid sanitation workers.
One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with Saint Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all."Remember that, Samuel Alito.
