I would like to meet Muhammad Ali because I’m a huge sports fan and the things that he accomplished made him a legend in my eyes.

It would be two people actually. The first person would be Malcom X and the second person would be Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I would ask them their opinions on how they would help the African American community thrive today.

Malcolm X because of what he stood for as a man. He stood up for our rights and believed in an eye for an eye.

It would be Barack Obama because he was the first black president. I would love to pick his brain to see how he dealt with the pressure of being the leader of the Free World.

I would enjoy meeting Malcom X and Marcus Garvey. There’s not too much that we’re taught about when it comes to their ideas and philosophies towards how the black community should cooperate and maneuver so for me to learn this will help me understand them more.
