In today's episode, we sit down with Beverly, a 74-year-old retiree from Cary, North Carolina. As a former educator, Beverly has encountered a variety of differing viewpoints over the course of her lifetime, but her experience with America in One Room helped lead her down a path she never would have expected to take, especially in the middle of a pandemic.

Beverly talks about her move from Texas to North Carolina following her America in One Room experience, a particularly heated exchange ("The Incident") that took place between two other America in One Room participants, and her thoughts on what America in One Room meant for her.
