The Real Freedom Writers

Recently I came across the story of the Freedom Writers, a class of students that were seperated by race related gangs and then comes along a women named Erin Gruwell who wanted to teach the students that there was more out there for them then the troubles that surround them in Long Beach, California. This is a very inspirational story that says to you never to give up because there is always something better for everyone's future.

This story connects with Freedom Of Speech due to the fact that these students got the chance to use their first amendment right to use their stories of their past to progress in their lives and show society that they were more then 5th grade reading level gang members they were intelligent and successful people!
