For my "Super Dinner" I picked the above 7 people for their dedication to equal rights. Instead of picking an exact place and what to serve by myself, I would try to start off right with my guests and get their opinions first. I would ask what each one of them would prefer to eat and try to have a little bit of all of it at my dinner. In order for us all to work together we would need to experience each other's cultures. Lastly, I would have the dinner at the place most central to everyone. I would want to start things off as fair as possible for everyone because that is what compromises consist of. In order to work towards peace amongst different countries, much compromise would need to take place!
