of time and change ANY historical event, which would you change, why would you change that event, and what would happen differently?

This man wouldn't have died that day in New York.

I would have liked to see what he would have accomplished on his own since he was in the process of breaking away from the Nation of Islam (at least that's what I took from the movie). He had started to view the white man differently, and I would have liked to see what would have come to fruition under his leadership.

I've been thinking about this long and hard, because right now, I'm still a little consumed with 9/11. But after some thought, I'd have to say slavery, of all kinds, everywhere. I would like to know what the world would be like if people had just left everyone where they belonged. No indentured servents, either. I wonder how rich the continent of Africa would be. I wonder how nations would have developed without the assistance of free or next to free labor. I want to know what it would be like if we were in Africa, and had never been brought here. I wonder how different things would be. I wonder if democracy would exist. I wonder if the freedoms that this country takes so much pride in would exist elsewhere. I wonder what (specifically African descendants) our self-image would be like. I wonder if the thin, Caucasion, blonde hair, blue eyes features would still be the standard set for beauty. I wonder which nations would be superpowers. I could go on and on.
