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?**

The author feels that whites owe King the greatest debt because he feels that King freed whites from the hypocrisy of race and that they can live together as one species without having to worry about discrimination. King showed the world that all races are equal and they owe him a great deal of debt for helping them to that understanding.

Yes, King was the right man at the right time. The african-american community was willing to rise above at that time and Martin Luther King Jr. emerged at the perfect time. He had all the right beliefs (peaceful protest, sit-ins, etc.) and he had a voice that captivated the nation. He also had wonderful charisma, the driving force that gave him the courage to lead a nation to rally together in a time of need.
 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?**

** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? **

He would not be upset because it is being used for good.
