This week on Statewide, many small colleges and universities were struggling before COVID-19. Will the pandemic deal a final blow to more institutions?
We also hear about the rise of home schooling. And we look back to a time of lawlessness in southern Illinois, when prohibition era gangs went to war with each other and the Ku Klux Klan.
Our lineup:
* Susie An from WBEZ reports on how more parents are choosing home schooling during the pandemic.
* Harvest Public Media's Amy Mayer looks at creative repurposing for grain elevators.
* Tony Arnold talks with some delegates to the Democratic National Convention who will be staying home as the event will be virtual this year.
