    This Is Centenary : Eileen Sanchez : Episode 14

    Retired educator Eileen Sanchez visited Centenary last month to discuss her new novel, Freedom Lessons. Freedom Lessons draws heavily on Sanchez’s own experiences as a young, white teacher in the Jim Crow South during desegregation. The story alternates between the viewpoints of three very different characters during the period known as “the crossover,” when white teachers were sent to work in predominantly black schools for the first time. In Louisiana, this process began in the 1969-1970 school year. Sanchez’s public lecture and discussion evening from February 13 is our feature for this episode of This is Centenary.
