If you could travel back in time , who would you meet for dinner and a conversation ?

As a history major at the University of Georgia , I have always enjoyed learning about the presidents and especially admire Harry Truman because of his role in ushering closure to WWII and his decision to sign Executive Order 9981 , which desegrated the armed forces . So to that end , I wish I could travel back in time to have dinner with President Truman , but it also does beg the question of where to eat . As a proud Georgian , I hope President Truman would join me at The Varsity for a few dogs and a frosted orange .

For my time-traveling dinner , I would absolutely make a date with Benjamin Franklin . He is such an interesting historical figure -- writer , printer , publisher , scientist , inventor , ambassador , and political philosopher . He ' s also my hometown hero and Philadelphia ' s favorite son . I would love to chat with him about government and diplomacy . As a fellow writer , I think he would also thoroughly enjoy learning about communication technology and the digital landscape .

My grandparents . My grandfathers both died when I was 14 and my grandmothers when I was 20 and 22 . I didn ’ t ask them nearly enough about themselves , their childhoods , their favorite memories or their stories .
