English Professor Sean Connors and several of his Ozark undergrad students pose for a photo after gathering oral histories in Harrison, Arkansas.

We all learn to read and write differently, and for different reasons, according to a University of Arkansas English class, collecting Ozark oral histories of literacy acquisition, across ages and cultures. The fruits of their course work will be presented to the public this Thursday May 4th, at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale at 5pm. The event is free and open to the public.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
