It has resulted in a book entitled "Dear Freedom Writer." The Freedom Writers were students inspired by their pioneering teacher to embrace racial integration. The Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who rode interstate buses in the early 60s to test the US Supreme Court’s decision to desegregate buses. The Freedom Writers embarked on a second project to help the next generation of students benefit from their process. Freedom Writers is a film about modern-day Freedom Riders. Their essays about homelessness, racism, violence, and more led to a book, a foundation, a major motion picture, and perhaps most importantly, hope. It all began when Gruwell encouraged the high school freshmen to read Anne Frank's diary and to write about their challenges in the way that Frank did. The Freedom Writers continue to share their stories with students and teachers from around the globe through their nonprofit, the Freedom Writers Foundation. The analysis is based on two of the key tenets of Critical Race Theory, Whiteness as Property and Commitment to Social Justice, which are used as analytical tools. Gruwell and her students have become known around the world for their Freedom Writers project. Freedom Writers (titulada en espaol: Diarios de la calle El diario de los escritores de la libertad o Escritores de libertad o El diario de los escritores libres) es una pelcula dramtica estadounidense de 2007 escrita y dirigida por Richard LaGravenese y protagonizada por Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn, Imelda Staunton. The aim of this thesis is to analyze how the film Freedom Writers, released in 2007 and directed by Richard LaGravenese, reflects on the topic of racism.
In 1994, a first-year English teacher in California walked into a classroom of students who were described as "unteachable." Erin Gruwell and her students not only proved the critics wrong, but they changed lives in the process.
