Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. program at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, 508 S. Main St., Moscow.

Washington State University associate professor of history Ken Faunce will discuss “High Society: Globalization, the drug trade and the historical basis for the Opioid Epidemic” as part of the continuing “How It’s Going, How It Started” series, supported with funds from the Idaho Humanities Council.
