Abstract	A young teacher attempted to engage a class of high-risk urban students by introducing them to books about intolerance and ethnic misunderstanding and developing their own awareness of discrimination and social bias through diaries that documented their own thoughts and feelings. Calling themselves the "Freedom Writers," these students arranged for visits from the woman who sheltered Anne Frank's family, and Zlata Filipovic, the author of a memoir of a child's life in Bosnia. Entries from the teacher's diary and entries from student writings are grouped into sections corresponding to eight semesters in the high school. (SLD)
