FREEDOM LESSONS by Eileen Sanchez
Back to School! Are you a teacher? Do you know a teacher? Here’s what Amazon reviewers have to say! Recommend Freedom Lessons – A Novel, for your classroom or your school’s library.
A deeply affecting novel A must read for Americans and a vehicle for conversations on racial justice. Should be a required book in all American high schools.
An Important and Relevant Work of Historical Fiction The lessons shared in the book are as important and relevant for today as they were fifty years ago. This book should be read, shared, and discussed by parents, teachers, students, elected officials, and all human beings who believe in "a more perfect union."
Outstanding read! Freedom Lessons is an amazing story that grabs you immediately and holds you until the end. Beautifully written, this is a must read for educators and students alike. This book needs to be made into a movie and added as required reading for high school and college students! I read it in three days because I couldn't put it down!
Poignant, powerful novel of court-ordered school integration in the late 1960s. Recommended read for preservice and in-service teachers, administrators, and students of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
Much to Learn from Freedom Lessons. As a former high school teacher in Los Angeles, I would have made this required reading in my American Literature class. In fact, Freedom Lessons should be on high school reading lists throughout the US.
An intriguing history lesson A novel that will resonate with audiences across the spectrum, from young adults to the teachers who fight for them, from history buffs to those who lived through the times.
Still relevant fifty years later This book could be very useful in a high school classroom since it presents very clearly the impact of forced integration as it was happening on the students at the time.
Flashback to 1960s I think this book is well timed and should be mandated reading for school children to facilitate discussions of race at a time of growing ethnic divisions in our country. Job well done, Mrs. Sanchez! Thank you for sharing your story of Freedom Lessons.
