**<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Read the essay from [|**TIME 100 - Martin Luther King**] **<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">. As you do, respond to the following questions **Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?** The author feels that we were liberated from being hypocrits because we claimed to the the land of the free, yet black people didnt have the same rights as white people.

**Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not** I dont think there is one answer for this question. I think that King's oppinion would depend on the way his quote was being used if its being used in the way the author in the artical above stated i dont think he would be happy, but if was used for something right im sure he would be fine with some one using it.
 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** King was definately the righ man at the right time because he brought the people closer and exersised peacful protesting, in a time when opinions were different and violence thought to be needed. The peaceful protests kept the movement appealing because the people wouldn't have given rights to violent people.
