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?** "....for liberating them from the burden of America's centuries-old hypocrisy about race. It is only because of King and the movement that he led that the U.S. can claim to be the leader of the "free world" without inviting smirks of disdain and disbelief."


 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** Yes

** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? ** Yes, people are using it in the wrong way he intended it to mean. It has become a slogan for people that would have been his opponents.
