Killing the Sky: Oral Histories from Horizon Academy, Rikers Island
"My father stayed with his legal job and took care of his family. That's why I respected him. But what when it comes down to respecting people on some gangstas, I had all the bad role models, people who been locked up, people who got shot, people who shot people, that's who I respect."
Copies of Killing the Sky and other Student Press Initiative publications are available at the Teachers College bookstore. http://www.tc.columbia.edu/
This book was mentioned in an article that focused on teacher and student collaborative writing. I found the topic interesting and wanted to pass it on.
