I’m sick of this place already. I know. To be here, just as history’s taking place… This isn’t history, Yaz. We’re hiding behind bins. I’m having to work so hard to keep me temper. Every second here. I coulda slapped that guy back there, as soon as we arrived. Thank God me nan taught me how to keep me temper. Never give them the excuse. Yeah. My dad tells me the same.
The driver let me on at the front of the bus. What does that mean for where I sit? Obviously not a lot of Pakistani heritage around here. Does colored just mean black in 1955? Guess I’ll park my South Asian/Mexican backside in the white section then and let’s see what happens.
what she says: i’m fine
what she means: that episode was so brilliantly and beautifully written by the outstanding malorie blackman. it handled racial issues whilst educating young children and adults about rosa parks and why her story is so important, young people may have a new hero in thirteen but they also have a new hero in rosa parks and i think that is incredible. the doctor who creaters, cast and malorie blackman really did what all primary schools in britain and perhaps worldwide fail to do: teaching children the importance and story of black history. the episode was without a doubt the most moving and poignant thing ever shown on bbc and possibly on television as it was powerful, hard hitting, emotional and everything was done right from the representation of rosa to the music choice (rise up was the perfect piece to use) to the ending where we saw the real rosa. the best episode of doctor who to date !!!!!
