"The crime could be a lie or a sitdown strike." The clear distinction being a dishonorable crime of dishonesty vs a crime of nobly opposing social injustice. I didn't know the man personally and would have no way of knowing what he was capable of. However, reason leads me to conclude, had MLK been caught lying to a grand jury about a colleague, it would likely have caused harm to his 'I have a Dream' mission; whereas being arrested for nobly protesting an injustice, (staying true to principle) is honest and causes additional light to be cast on the injustice, bolstering the mission. In both cases, honesty is the best policy.
