KING

** Read the essay from [|**TIME 100 - Martin Luther King**] **. As you do, respond to the following questions **Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?** He feels that whites owe King the greatest debt because they did not listen to him. He feels that since King freed the blacks from the mean and old ways of America being against African Americans, whites should feel bad for feeling superior to them. ** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? ** No, because he would feel that all he did to help African Americans had payed off and now people appreciate what he did and use it in their present lives. He would feel good about his work for equal rights in America.
 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** Yes, he indeed was.
