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?
Whites owe him because he helped liberate the burden on America of race that generates from when it first began. Was King "the right man at the right time"?He was because he helped lead them and guide them to equality and freedom.
Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?I think King would be upset at people trying to do such a thing. King wouln't agree with people changing the words he says making them into words that save people from trouble.
MEMORIALS
There are many memorials to King around the United States, and there will soon be a new one in Washington D.C.! Check out some of the links below, and look at the video of the new National Memorial.
