Free at Last

Anti-gay bullying occurs in schools across America. Bullying affects students' ability to do well in school, self esteem, and can cause depression. This is a book written by LGBT rights activist Ben Rothschild. The book includes Ben's story of growing up, facing bullying for being a gay Jew, and overcoming adversity by becoming a chess champion. The book also includes essays on LGBT history and black American history. The title of the book comes from a spoken word piece Ben wrote called "Free at Last."
