I'd like to meet:
In no particular order: Barack Obama, Prince, My Great-Great Grandfather Elijah Dottery, Lauryn Hill, (to see if I can find out what made her go crazy in the first place) My Mother's Grandmother Mattie Brown, (who raised my Mother) Salma Hayek, Harry Belafonte...(Oh wait, I met Harry Belafonte...shook his hand and everything.) Of course Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, (to ask what in the world he did to keep his mind busy for 26 years in prison, from before I was born to 1990) and......I'll have to get back at ya on the rest; can't think of them right now.

Music:
Old School Hip Hop, R&B, Rock...even a little Country now and then. I like the visual stories they tell in Country Music.
Movies:
Boomerang, Bound, The Breakfast Club, Office Space (That is how my J-O-B is, for REAL) The Best Man, New Jack City, Live Free or Die Harder, House Party (That was Me, Buff, and Willie all the way in that movie. Willie was the DJ, Buff and I were the Rappers) Do The Right Thing, Boyz 'N the Hood, Mean Girls, Bad Boys(Only the first one, Bad Boys II sucked - no humor like the first one) Finding Nemo, Desperado, 16 Candles, Menace II Society, Purple Rain (You have to baptize yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka), Brown Sugar and Grosse Point Blank.
Television:
"The Unit," which isn't on anymore. My wife got me into "Grey's Anatomy" for a minute there. I still need to see the last season of "The Sopranos," and I'm trying to get back into "The Wire."
Books:
"Auto Biography of Malcolm X." "Disappearing Acts" by Terry McMillan. "From 'Superman' to Man" by J.A. Rogers (Peep it, it'll give you a new, interesting, and refreshing view/aspect on race relations) Also, "Without Sanctuary." It's disturbing though - visually - and hard to stomach. 105 pictures and postcards of lynchings from 1890 to 1930 and the stories behind them.
