Using this year’s Common Reading book, Just Mercy, by Brian Stevenson, as the foundation, this workshop explores various social issues, including race, social class, inequality, history, and justice, which underpin the text. This interactive workshop uses activities, video clips, and small group discussions; it provides students with tools to engage in Common Reading conversations about these issues.
