North Carolina Reads is North Carolina Humanities’ statewide book club for 2023. North Carolina Reads features five books that explore issues of racial, social, and gender equality and the history and culture of North Carolina.

On June 27th at 6:30 PM, online, join North Carolina Humanities for an interactive panel discussion examining themes from the North Carolina Reads selection "Step It Up and Go: The Story of North Carolina Popular Music."

This panel will explore how working-class roots and rebellion tie blues, jazz, and bluegrass to beach music, hip-hop, and a celebration of North Carolina popular music. This event features author David Menconi and founder of Ramseur independent label and North Carolina Music Hall of Fame Trustee Dolphus Ramseur in a conversation moderated by NC Humanities' Board Trustee Elizabeth Carlson.
