What historic event would you want to witness or be a part of?
I think I would probably choose the civil rights march in Selma—on the bridge in Selma. I would participate in the march.

Six: The Musical is about the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII. I would love to have seen the premiere production … in 2017. Or I would go back in time and see what happened between Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn.
Emma Feeney, 32, Speech-Language Pathologist/Actress
It’s a toss-up between the Stonewall Riot and the first Ramones show at CBGB. And I’d like to see some inspirational speech before something historic happened, like in Shakespeare’s Henry V, but for real.
Cedric Van Hooft, 43, Fire Safety Technician
Dancing on the dance floor in the Cement Ship. They would have big parties, and it was quite elegant. I think that would be so much fun. It used to be quite the thing to go out and have a night there.
Kendra Underwood, 45, Retired
Seeing gladiator fighting in the Coliseum. Anything with tigers or lions.
Lamar Harris, 32, Singer/Musician
The Stonewall Riots. The history is impressive and beautiful and something we need to remember and continue to uphold to this day. I would love to be able to participate in such an important part of queer history.
Katiana Liebetrau, 21, Student at Cabrillo College
I would want to meet and greet Neil Armstrong with a cup of tea when he landed on the moon for the first time.
