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?** Because King liberated them from the burden of America's hypocrisy about race. **Was King "the right man at the right time"?** Yes because he was a preacher that touched the spirit of African Americans but also gave him a base within the black church. **Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?** King would be upset because the line has been used as slogans of affirmative action.
