If I could meet any African American historical figure, it would be Muhammad Ali due to his attitude. During his time period, he was outspoken and I think it would be interesting to hear his various points of view.

I would want to meet Frederick Douglass because of his accomplishments after being a slave. He didn’t let being a slave stop him from becoming a free man then becoming the historical legend that he is. His books became best sellers and were influential to rid the country of slavery.

If I could meet any African American historical figure, I would choose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I’d choose him because I would ask him questions about his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

I would like to meet Morgan Freeman. He is a respectful and prominent actor and a high quality narrator of society. He even fills the practical and idealistic roles of God (in films) perfectly.

I would love to meet Rosa Parks. She inspires me in such a way that no one else does. She was the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement and I would thank her for her accomplishments.
