**<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?** because without King, our country would not be the leader of the free world as we know it today. We would be a country segregated within our own people.


 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** King was the right man at the right time because our country's amount of racism and violence and inequality was peaking and if action was not taken soon, this would only continue on. Our country was in need of some major changes, and Dr. King was the perfect leader for those changes.

** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? ** In some cases yes. An example of that would be that opponents of affirmative action use it. Dr. King would not like that because he was a peace maker and definitely not a radical.
