In having an on-line chat with a friend in the UK, I brought up this organization. The founder is Erin Gruwell, who taught in Long Beach, Calif., in the 1990s. Her inspiring story was made into a film, "Freedom Writers," in which she was portrayed by Hilary Swank.

Anyway, Ms. G stood up for equality in education, including the right of students to read about people who looked like them.

I'm hoping to have a few dollars available after paying bills today, so that I can support this work. It feels more important than ever.
