    This primary source set looks at the effects two pandemics have had on American society. It includes a variety of modalities that seek to explore people's attitudes during both the Spanish Flu of 1918 and COVID-19. It seeks to compare and contrast attitudes towards each pandemic as represented in newspapers, music, and photographs.
