Today we share an award-winning program from last year. First Dee Perry hosts an Around Noon book club to discuss a controversial new edition of Mark Twain's classic The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that replaces the n-word. Joining Dee are CWRU's Rhonda Williams, CSU's Lolita Buckner Inniss and Laurel School's Ann Klotz. Then we hear the haunting Americana sounds of The Wayfaring Strangers captured live in performance.Rhonda Williams, CWRU
