 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?**  If it wasn't for Martin Luther King, we would have never been able to be with africans americans or whites. We would still be seperated based on color of skin.

King was the right man at the right time. He is one of those people that come along very 100 of years. He is specail and his talents are what helped our nation become a place. He is the father of civil rights.
 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?**

** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? ** I personally think King would be proud. The fact that he made a difference in our country over one phase would make him think, " wow I made a difference." He would be proud of how far our nation has come.
