MLK

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

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

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




The author thinks that whites owe him the greatest debt, for liberating them from the burden of america's centuries-old hypocrisy about the race.

He was the right man at the right time because of everything he did at the time, which everyone still remembers. the movement that king started was so victorious.

King would be upset with how it is used today because if it is used for affirmitave action, people are not equal.

Civil Disobedience

Would you have been able to use civil disobedience and non-violence?

I would have used civil disobedience because violence is what was tearing everyone apart. Violence is not need from both sides. Changing America through violence is worse then through peace. I would do sit-ins. Whites did sit ins as well. I would have to relize even though im not using violence, others will. It would make it harder to stay civil so it's important to have a thick skin, and believe in yourself.
