MLK Reading

Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?
Whites owe king the greatest debt for for "liberating them from the burden of America's centuries-old hypocrisy about race." It is only because of King that the U.S. can be called the "free world" and have that be the true meaning.
Was King "the right man at the right time"?
King could have been, he was there telling the people what they wanted to hear when they needed the encouragement.But the power of King's speeches was enough influence even if he wasn't at the right time.
Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?
People have used these as campaign slogans and against extreme racism. King only meant to say that he wanted to end racism and have it continue for his kids.
