"If you could have dinner with anyone, past or present, who would it be?"
"Martin Luther King."
"Is there anything you would ask him?"
"I'd ask, 'Why did you go through all that you went through?' It seems like not too much has changed. I still come across people who call me 'nigger.' I work in a restaurant, and it wasn't long ago that a white customer called me a nigger. I don't know if his order wasn't right or if he was just in a bad mood, but it seems like not everybody caught on to what Dr. King was saying. There are folks who want to see black people still out working in the fields and not exploring the world along with white people. Seems like a lot of things are still like they were in history, before Dr. King ever came."
