Please join us to celebrate the release of We the Students: Essays That Claim Our Marginalized Histories, 826 Boston’s latest Young Authors Book Project from the Writers’ Room at the John D. O’Bryant School of Math and Science.

Written by O’Bryant 9th graders, this book contains biographies of individuals, from Shirley Chisholm to Chelsea Manning, who students believe have been silenced and overlooked in both their history classes and textbooks. By shedding light on these marginalized voices, their writing demonstrates the importance of teaching an honest and thoughtful U.S. history.

The release party will feature readings from the book, refreshments, and an opportunity to purchase books and get them signed by our published authors.
