4. How reliable might a translation of a diary be as a source?
5. How reliable do you think diaries are in general as sources? What factors might impact the reliability of a source like a diary?

When you are researching for history or even geography for that matter, you will come across a mountain of information on the Internet or in books or archives, wherever you are looking, and one of the most important skills you need to develop is to be a little judgemental about the sources you come across.

So, for the final episode of 2020 where we have been living through a pandemic, I wanted to look back at a different pandemic, the bubonic plague, but not the Black Death of the 1300s that you may be thinking of. I want to look into an outbreak that is a little less well known, the time that the bubonic plague came to Australian shores.

This episode is designed to go with a Middle Years unit looking at the Black Death and examining the historical concept of continuity and change.

The actions of Rosa Parks in 1955 were a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and it would be easy to say she was a tired old lady who just needed to sit down whilst riding a bus and that sparked the chain of civil rights events. But there are a few things wrong with that narrative.  Find out why Rosa was chosen as the face of the boycott rather than Claudette Colvin.

This episode is designed to go with a Senior Modern History unit on Civil Rights.

Reflection Questions

1. Describe your understanding of the depth of segregation in America in the 1950s.
2. Explain the different perspectives that are presented as to why Rosa Parks was chosen to be the face of the bus boycott over Claudette Colvin.
3. What other civil rights work did Rosa Parks do before her defiant act on the bus?
4. Make a judgement on the usefulness on the letter from the Women’s Political Council in supporting the historical argument that the boycott was not a spontaneous event.
5. Explain why you think that Rosa Parks would have struggled to find employment after her role in the Montgomery bus boycott.
6. Why do you think the bus boycott would have been an effective way to bring attention to segregation and finally have the law changed?
7. After the law was changed, there was still partial segregation and shots fired into the buses. What motivation would someone have for these kinds of acts?
