MLK Questions

Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?
King stopped many barriers between the races and made it easier for whites to view the races as equals.
Was King "the right man at the right time"?
King was "the right man at the right time" without a doubt. He was a great leader, and without him, the nation, let alone the world, wouldn't be what it is today. He took the responsibility of the nation on his shoulders and knew how to help everyone out. He knew how to really connect with all kinds of people. He also had enough courage to go against so many obstacles and barriers, and he never gave up.
Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?
I believe that King would not be upset by the current use of his often quoted line. As he believed in freedom of all kinds, I think he would be glad that people are carrying on his legacy and using his words. There may be some people who don't use his words wisely, but I think overall, he would be happy that his efforts are remembered.
