Reading Through It Book Club

The Reading Through It Book Club explores who we are as Americans, where we're going, and how we might fix our greatest problems. Marcus Harrison Green, publisher of The South South Emerald, and Neal Morton, Western education reporter for The Hechinger Report, will lead the conversation.

Reading Through It is on indefinite hiatus as of December 2021.
