If I had the chance to meet with any historical character, I would want it to be Martin Luther King, Jr. Here is a list of the 10 questions that I would ask him:
1. What moved you to speak out about the injustices of black people?
2. What made you think that you could be the one who made any difference in the world when it came to civil rights issues?
3. Did you ever want to quit and give up when you saw that despite the marches, movements and protests, nothing had really changed?
4. Were you ever in fear for your life, of your family's life?
5. How did you feel when you saw that people following your cause (in doing peaceful protests and sit-ins) got kitchen thrown on them, a water hose blasted at them, or were arrested and thrown in jail? Did you feel badly for them or were you moved by their courage and determination?
6. Did you know from an early age that you were called to do something great and make an impact on the world that would change it forever?
7. If you were called, did you ever try to say "no" to that calling?
8. When you have your last speech, where you talked about the Promised Land, did you believe that you would be like Moses and not be able to see the Promised Land for yourself but know that others would?
9. I know you believed in God, but did you ever question or doubt Him? If so, how did you overcome those doubts?
10. If you weren't the face of the civil rights movement, would else would you have done? What other hobbies did you have?
11. Assuming you know everything that is going on today regarding race relations, how do you think we, as black people, are handling it? What advice would you give us now?
