111th and Roberts: Where Our Stories Intersect by Various Authors
Donated by Lisa Thyer and Chris Wendelin, who says...
This is a newly published book written and edited by our senior English students at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School. This oral history book is a collection of conversations with our school community about life, struggles and what makes us who we are. Since the purpose of our book is to promote empathy, we thought it would be the perfect addition to the Empathy Museum. We hope you are just as inspired as we are by the courage and honesty of our students and the narrators interviewed in the book.
I helped write this book and I can honestly say that no matter how many times I read it, each story inside feels like a new story, even though I’ve read it so many times throughout the year and even throughout the summer, each time I open it, its like I’m opening it for the first time.
