Hello, all.
Reading over some recent messages about Freedom Writers and the Paper Clip
Project reminded me of the Neighborhood Story Project, which began in New
Orleans in 2004. Six city high-schoolers conducted interviews and
research and ultimately published books containing their writings about
themselves & their neighbors. The project garnered a lot of community
support, and has even published a post-Katrina collaborative book written
by residents of the Ninth Ward neighborhood.
