there are a few different times I would have to choose from.
First, I would like to go back to meet Eleanor Roosevelt, and see exactly what went on when she ran the country. How she did it secretly and kept the public anaware of her husbands condition.
I think she was the greatest female ever, a true pioneer for women all over.
2nd...the roaring 20's and 30's. When people knew how to work, live and love. Music was pure, not about money or some pathetic strip tease, but actually came from the hearts and souls. When you listen to music of that time period, you KNOW what they were feeling. Not what they wanted you to feel, but how they felt. They knew how to overcome pain, and heartache.

Event: I would probably choose to witness a speech by Martin Luther King. I just think he was an interesting man. I would like to see and enjoy the experience of hearing his speech and the way he made people feel.
Time period: If I could go back to another time period, I would probably choose the 50s. I don't know why, it just seems like it would be an interesting time in history to have lived and seen the great changes occurring in our country.

I would like to go back in time and witness the disasterous time in history that wiped out a whole town and would have liked to write a book about it.

I would like to be at Woodstock, or backstage at a Bob Marley concert. I always thought he was so handsome. Now Woodstock, that just seems like that would be my kinda scene. I would have liked to have witnessed one of Malcolm X's speeches. I would also like to have visited Studio 54, looked like an awesome place.

I would like to experience the counter culture of the late 1960's. It must have been an amazing time to be alive.

The construction of the finished Pyamids of Giza. The construction of Stonehenge. The Jews leaving Egypt, which includes the the parting of the pink Sea (completely agree w/ you on that one) D-Day, the finished component. the authentic Sermon on the Mount, stay.

hhmm, the first thanksgiving, before everything went to crap for the native americans! actually, that'd probably be a bit boring...it'd be cool to see the space shuttle take-off and when it landed on the moon--lol, my parents were alive to see it!
