The Freedom Writers

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank
Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind by Suzanne FIsher Staples
Monster by Walter Dean Myers

Statement:
I am inspired by the message that each of the Freedom Writers took to heart: that one individual is all it takes to make change. As a child we grow up hearing that "you can make a difference," but we cease to hear that record as we age. It is like a breath of fresh air to hear other older kids who truly believe that they can make a difference. We all should be reminded that we have a power to create change.

Question:
How was the Freedom Writers community affected by their stories? Did anything change? Where are the Freedom Writers today?
