What stories shape the way we understand our nation? Explore Chapters 15–16 with the Reading Circle and consider the perspectives, experiences, and historical legacies presented in the reading.
Participants can read or listen to chapters on their own. We will then come together over lunch for an engaging and respectful discussion.
