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?** ** He says that they owe him for freeing the country of their beliefs on race. ** ** Was King "the right man at the right time"? ** There was two centuries of agitation built up, thousands of courageous men and women willing to fight, and he was the right man to start this because of his strong rot as a preacher in the black community, **Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?** The writers believes that the "I have a dream, that....." has "become the slogan for opponents of affirmative action". The group who uses this as their slogan claims that if he were alive, he would be marching with them.
