 * THE MARCH to Washington**

**Read the [|last paragraph from ABC-CLIO] and the second paragraph from [|CORE's discussion of the March] to answer the question below:**

**What was the impact of the March on Washington?**

The March on Washington strongly encouraged the need for social change. It was the major act that pushed for Civil Rights. It portrayed the problems of segregated, Jim Crow America.

**AFTER**

**If we didn't get to it in class, watch [|16th Street] to see what happened right after the March.**

**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?** They owed him the greatest debt because King “ liberated them from the burden of America's centuries-old hypocrisy about race.”

**Was King "the right man at the right time"?** King was the right man at the right time. He was a preacher, a good leader, and could not stand Jim Crow laws.

**Would King be upset with the current use of his most often quoted line? Why or why not?** Yes. The line has been used for slogans of affirmative action. Sometimes it may be misinterpreted and misused.
