After a rousing and impactful presentation 10 days ago, Erin Gruwell, the acclaimed teacher and author from the Freedom Writers Foundation, is returning to Galesburg.

There will be a free encore community presentation, where Ms.Gruwell will share the soon to be released PBS documentary: Freedom Writers: Stories from an Undeclared War.

Erin will stay after the showing for a Q&A session with audience members! Books will be available for purchase and signing as well! This is the first and only showing of this film in Illinois before its PBS release next year! Please feel free to join us, and bring friends and family!
