The Story Box Erin Gruwell Unboxing | Dear Freedom Writers Stories of Hope and Hardship From The Next Generation
More than twenty years ago, the world was introduced to The Freedom Writers and teacher Erin Gruwell. Their stories, featured in the #1 New York Times bestseller THE FREEDOM WRITERS DIARY, captured the hearts of readers everywhere and later became the major motion picture, Freedom Writers, starring Hilary Swank. In 1994, what began in Room 203 with a first-time teacher and 150 “unteachable” high-schoolers, would go on to build a lifelong community of students and educators working together, driven by the purpose of innovative learning. In DEAR FREEDOM WRITER: Stories of Hardship and Hope from the Next Generation, their legacy continues as readers are introduced to a new league of Freedom Writers—fifty students from around the globe—sharing deeply personal and powerful stories in letters addressed to the original Freedom Writers. The originals answer each letter with a message of compassion, understanding, and profound advice as someone of similar plight, but who has come out on the other side.
