Of course he didn't. Ron Paul could have, but he didn't. Rand Paul was raised with his father's beliefs and he espouses those beliefs well. If Ron Paul would have communicated to his son the importance of the good work MLK did, it would show in what Rand Paul advocates. But Rand does not advocate for the same social justice issues as MLK did, so it's not much of a stretch to say he would not have marched with MLK.
I personally think he would have been the front person holding a firehose on the protesters back then.
