Medgar Evers would be first choice, then Pope John Paul II, then Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.

Yes, I would love to meet Pope John Paul II, and I also forgot to add Martin Luther King and John Candy.

Frizzle, if you ever get the opportunity to visit the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, I would encourage you to do so. As a student of WWII history, I think you'd find it fascinating. It's probably one of my favorite museums of all time, and even though I've visited many times, I always learn something new. I definitely emerged from my 1st visit a changed man with a new perspective on human suffering.

I also encourage reading some of the works of Elie Wiesel, particularly The Night Trilogy. His first-person perspective on the Holocaust is both horrifying and touching.

Cheers.

Thanks, I've already been to the Imperial war museum when they had their holocaust exhibition on, and also been to another Holocaust museum in Poland when I was visiting Auschwitz.

I'll make note of that that museum though.

I'll have to make a note of that

If you could meet one person who would it be, it can be someone who's alive, someone who's dead or even someone who's legendary. I'd want to meet Buddha, Buddhism is the way of life that most appeals to me out of any religious or spiritual path, and I think his sense of moderation and sanity would have made him surprisingly modern. I'd want him to be the Buddha of legend, the one whose mother dreamed of his birth and the one who was a prince when young.
a great book on buddhist wisdom translated for western sensibilities. i was written by my teacher:

Amazon.com: Awakening the Buddha Within : Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World: Books: Lama Surya Das

This has been an interesting thread to read... I have to say I have been lucky or unlucky enough to meet some of the people listed...
Among my favorites were Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Rosiland Russell, Catherine Deneuve.
My wish however is Marie Curie!

Well talking with Jesus would be interesting. I would need a translator of course. Imagine you have this conversation and he is like, "Cube, they have it all wrong. I need you to fix the meanings they have changed." Then what would you do? The present day churchs would never want to change and would do you in.

I guess you'd have to get it from Jesus in red letters!
