Human Library's Enable You to Talk to a Stranger for 30 Minutes

Ronni Abergel, the 42 year-old who created the concept, told Today.com;

"Sometimes you see someone in the supermarket and think things about them but you don't dare go ask them questions.  I wanted to build a space where you can ask them anything because they volunteered to answer."

Abergel moved to Connecticut at age 15 as a foreign exchange student and he said the experience gave him a new appreciation for those that were different than him.

"I figured that if we could make people sit down with a group attached to a certain stigma they don't like or even know about for that matter, we could diminish the violence."
