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?** King helped whites say on an international scale that America truly was the country of freedom. King had to fix the issue of race. He was able to change the view of many whites and make them realize that African-Americans are equal, peacefully.

**Was King "the right man at the right time"?** He was, he was the leader of the Civil Rights movement and won an undeniable victory.
 * Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? **

He would be upset since it is being used as a slogan for people who don't necessarily support what he believed in.
