While studying Anne Frank and A Child's Life in Sarajevo, Erin Gruwell's "unteachable, at-risk" students confronted how they had been subjected to intolerance and misunderstanding themselves. They began to write their own diaries—calling themselves "The Freedom Writers." The Freedom Writers Diary chronicles their amazing journey, as all 150 of Ms. Gruwell's students graduate from high school and attend college.
Your students will be moved and empowered as they witness the growth of these remarkable young men and women. Of special interest is the fact that all author's proceeds from this book go to the Tolerance Education Foundation, an organization set up to pay the Freedom Writers' college tuition.
