**<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?** According to the Author, whites owe King the greatest debt because he freed them of America's hypocrisy towards race.


 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** Yes, he was the right man at the right time. You see, Dr. King came after the attempts of leaders and people to end segregation, and one finnaly pulled throuh. He helped end segregation through fantastic speaches that we still remember today, and brilliant ways to keep the movement going.

I believe not. People who have beem interperating his quote have forgotten his urgency of the idea of Now and not Later.**
 * Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?
