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 helped lift the burden of centuries-old hypocrisy about race and that the movement he led gave the US the ability to claim to be the leader of the "free world". According to the article, had he failed, the US would be very much like South Africa under apartheid.**

Yes, according to the article. The movement would not have been the same without his leadership.** ** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? Yes, he would be upset. His most famous quoted line, "I have a dream", has been put to uses that he would never have endorsed - like a campaign of opponents of Affirmative Action. **
 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?
