Phila school children self-publish book “Listen to our Voices”
The hopes, fears, and dreams of eight young black men, ages 10 to 12, from different parts of Philadelphia, are the subject of a new, self-published book entitled: “Listen to our Voices.” The boys are classmates at the Gesu School in North Philadelphia.
NewsWorks Tonight Host Dave Heller spoke with two of them, Amir and Vaughn, along with Gesu’s former president and CEO, Christine Beck, who helped them write the book, which touches on urban violence, racism, career aspirations, and hobbies–among many other topics.
