SOST 304 Social Studies for Primary Teachers POST # 2

SOCRATIC SEMINAR EXTENDED- MONDAY-WEDNESDAY CLASS ONLY

According to Dina Parham,(daughter in law of Nora Parham) there had been reports that Nora was pregnant when she had been incarcerated for Trapp’s death. Our newspaper had also received verbal reports that Nora had been pregnant when she was hanged. Dina recalls that right before the hanging, Nora was taken to the hospital.

“Maybe they took her to have the baby,” she wondered, questioning where that baby would be, if Nora had had one – whether that child is alive or dead.

Dina Parham says that her husband is still not satisfied with the outcome of the court case, because even if it were true that Nora had killed Ketchell Trapp, it is his view that the circumstances of the case had not been fairly considered, because it is their view that the killing would have happened under provocation.

Parham said that they have resurrected investigations of the incident and hope to have Nora vindicated if indeed she was innocent of the charges against her.

If Nora Parham were living in today's time period, would her fate have been the same?
