Behind the News Special
People In the Past
| ABC Me
In this BtN Special we learn that the things people did in the past still affect our lives today. We find out why William Shakespeare is still the most important writer in the English language, even though he was alive in the 16th Century. Through the great, great, great grandfather of our rookie reporter, Anna, we learn about the importance of Chinese migration to Australia. We also take a journey with the freedom riders who fought for indigenous right in the 1960s. And finally, we voyage into the history of human space travel.
