“Literally Unbelievable: Stories from an East Oakland Classroom” Book Reading by Bronwyn Harris

May 20th, 2018 | First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley

Join us for a book reading by author Bronwyn Harris on Sunday, May 20 at 5:00pm.

Bronwyn Harris was a new teacher thrust into a classroom mid-year in the part of Oakland, California that the police call the “Killing Zone.” Unprepared for the reality of teaching in East Oakland, she was one of the first teachers to receive support from Children Rising .

“Literally Unbelievable” chronicles eight years of ups and downs of Bronwyn Harris’s students in inner-city Oakland, the toll this took on her personally, and the need for all of us to see ‘those kids’ as ‘our kids’.”

“Every one of them is worth fighting for. My greatest hope is that more people will see this and, like I have, will make it their own fight.”
