This week on #JessFor30, Ron Jess is joined by American author and University of Michigan professor Scott Ellsworth to dive into history’s hidden stories and modern-day lessons. Scott discusses his latest book, The Secret Game, exploring how this impactful work came to life. Together, Ron and Scott unpack the state of history and civics education in today’s schools, touch on the complex history of the KKK in Howell, MI, and reflect on Ron’s recent joy as a new grandfather (now 6 times over). With hopes for a brighter world for the next generation, they weave a conversation rich with insight, history, and hope.
