If I didn't go there. I would probably just go somewhere in Africa and hope that I don't die being in the middle of a tribe feud. Going back in time is just a shitty deal all around and I wouldn't want to with my skin color.

I have just now fully realized my privilege - though as a woman (regardless of my race) I don't think I'd want to wander much further than the 60s. It's a dangerous past!
Would love to have been there for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech - even seeing video footage is riveting, what a time. I'd like to think he gave hope to
everyone in his prime. I do agree, though. History is a dangerous place (unless you're a white male).
