Time 100- Martin Luther King Responses

Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?

This author feels that whites owe King the greatest debt because he liberated them from the burden of America's centuries-old hypocrisy about race. It is only because of King that we can truly call ourselves the "Free World".

Was King "the right man at the right time"?

I think King was the right man at the right time because the USA in the south was at a time of crisis and they needed someone who could take over and lead the Civil Rights Movement, and if King wasn't there when they needed them we would still probably have as bad of segregation as they did back then.

Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?

I think King would not be upset of people using his often quoted line because that was his message that he wanted to get out there and to let people hear in if it spreading all around the world and it is even still used a number of times even today, i think he would be proud of what he had accomplished.
