MLK

Why does the author feel that whites owe King the greatest debt?

He says that whites owe King the greatest debt because King liberated whites from the belief that blacks are inferior, and helped end racism so because of King, we can call America the Land of the Free.

Was King "the right man at the right time"?

Yes--he led the Civil Rights movement, which according to the author, would have failed with him. "It is impossible to think of the movement unfolding as it did without him at its helm."

Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?

The author says King would not like the current use of the "I have a Dream" line. He calls people "kidnappers of his legacy". They do not have the same urgency as King or the context of the speech.
