I would choose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to hear his thoughts on the plight of African Americans today as compared to the 1950s and 60s.

I’d love to speak with former President Barack Obama just to ask him his honest opinion about his presidency and all of the ridicule that came with it.

It would definitely be W.E.B. Dubois because he believed social change could be accomplished only through agitation and protest and he promoted this view in his writings and his organized works.

Sophomore

Yazoo City, Mississippi

I would choose Dr. Martin Luther King because he was a legend. I highly regard him as one of the greatest and most influential men to ever have lived. This man stood up against tremendous adversity peacefully and thus helped drastically change the world for the better.

Freshman

Memphis, Tennessee

I would love to speak to Harriet Tubman because I would like to know all of the chaos and confusion that she had to go through to get everyone in compliance with the underground railroad.
