After excerpts from some books containing offensive descriptive posts about the Ewe ethnic group surfaced on social media, a controversy sparked a nationwide conversation.

Although an editor of one of the textbooks, Badu Nkansah Publications, apologized, part of the audience stressed the need to probe the content of the books, as they were identified as perpetuating stereotypes.

Tonight on PM: Express, Evans Mensah and his panel of experts will discuss the development and how the books came to market.
