Living in chicago, I would've protested with Abby Hoffman in 68'.
One problem, Dr. King's assassination caused riots on the south and west sides. As a 20 something man in the early 90's, there are still vacant lots and rubble that exist from 1968.
I would have mourned the deaths of Jimi, Otis and Janice. I would have seen James and the Famous Flames live at the Regal Theater.
I would probably be in Chicago, a member of Mosque Maryam, and a devoted member of the Nation of Islam under the tutelage of Malcolm X and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I would be making bean pies, and stockpiling survival items, selling navy bean soup for side coins, and sewing my little FOI and MGTs uniforms for Sunday meeting. My Dress 19 would be pristine white; my pearl earrings jutting out my head covering, accentuating the natural glow that comes from eating one meal a day, and fasting once a month. I'd be admiring my husband, as he drilled with his team, and sold Muhammad Speaks on the corner. An example of Godly submission and familial responsibility. Barely 25.
i woulda been in san francisco, rockin my afro wearing peace signs on my hands, prolly smokin on something, thinking im gonna take over the world. lol..
damn @ nina, lol. I would have been rockin some bell bottoms, living in Newakr, NJ.....I would have lived through the riots (that still show in that city) where my best friends mom was killed by the pigs....I would have marched for women's rights and grew weed on my communal farm and had 2 husbands, lol
I've been thinking about this for a few days. I would've been somewhere blazin maaaad trees wondering when is all this shit gonna cease. I loved this post. It was so deep that I had to wait a few days to come up with the profound answer that I gave...LOL...by the way...Hey, I hope all is well; keep shinin.

Sometimes I feel as if I was born in the wrong era, too.
