The Reverend Lucy Winkett recalls the trip to Germany that inspired an American pastor to add "Luther" not just to his name, but to that of his five-year-old son, Martin King Jnr. The rest is history... This clip features in Breaking Free: Martin Luther's Revolution, a week-long season of programmes that explore the Protestant Reformation and its consequences for the society, religion art and culture of today.
