Among the 500 respondents to a poll to determine the topics folks wanted to discuss, 337 voted for "Future Racial Relations in the South," making it the number one choice. Because of this, the Forum got Swedish sociologist Gunnar Myrdal, the author of <em>An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy</em>, to come speak because he was an "authority on the Negro." His book became influential in the 1954 <em>Brown v. Board</em> Supreme Court decision. Other topics of discussion included the "Future of the United Nations," "American Relations with Communist China," "Freedom of Thought and Expression," and "The Changing Economy of the South."
