ABOUT
Rams Read is Colorado State University’s Common Read program, encouraging faculty, staff, students at every level, and our wider community to read together and discuss what we’ve read in engaging ways.
This year’s book selection is Natasha Bowens-Blair’s The Color of Food: Stories of Race, Resilience and Farming. It explores ways we can cultivate new ideas about food justice, land, bringing people together, and joining in a conversation about race and identity, both locally and around the world.
