…amongst the cheering crowd to welcome Fidel and Che to Havana after the hated Batiste had fled….
….when Martin Luther King told of his dream …
… to hear Steve Biko’s testimony …
…standing by the roadside when Nelson Mandela walked up the road holding Winnie’s hand …
…to march against the Iraq War when 1+million British people showed their dissent (I was out of the country) …
… in The Haight district when The Grateful Dead played their freebie from the back of a truck …
… to save this man from his fate …
…on that night in November ’89, in Berlin, when the wall came down …
Where do you wish you’d been at a moment in history?
This is easy.. (you have the picture)..When Mr Mandela was freed. Since I was in high school where I first read of him he has been the epitome of strength and hope for humans. I would give all my earnings to have a chat with him …
Indeed, Lynne.Good shout !
Have you heard the song “Hiro” by French-Comorian rapper Soprano? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLPRQUbhIT0 You can find translations/explanations of the lyrics online, but he goes through a list of pivotal historical moments he would want to change or be present at. I get chills whenever I listen to it.
