I’m a European that migrated to America a few years ago. MLK is certainly well known where I come from (Scandinavia). His legacy is known by most and his political alignments and are known by most people on the left political spectrum. When people bring up racial injustice in America his name often pops up. However it is not often where his name is connected to the broader context. People on the left might mention him when talking about economic injustice in relation to race in Europe, but I would say it is rare. Sometimes really competent journalists might quite him or bring his historical context, but that is even rarer. He is most often thought off as an American addressing American problems, which I personally think is a pity. I would think his legacy in Scandinavia is about the same as the legacy of Nelson Mandela is to Americans.
