Excerpt 2 - [|I Have a Dream -- Excerpt 2] //In a sense ... the security of justice.//

Excerpt 5 - [|I Have a Dream -- Excerpt 5] //The marvelous new militancy ... We cannot turn back.//

**<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?** He feels this because MLK freed the whites of the burden of segregation against blacks so they could truly become the leaders of the "free-world".


 * Was King "the right man at the right time"?** Yes he was because the movement would have never unfolded the way it did if it wasn't for King.

** Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not? ** Yes he would, because he would have felt it was being used for the wrong reasons such as to promote the opposition of affirmative action.
