The Evergreen State College Presents:
Let Me Stand Alone

The Journals of Rachel Corrie
Reception and reading with the Corrie Family

The Evergreen Library Underground
Wednesday, April 9 - 7pm
Light Refreshments Provided

A lifelong writer, Rachel Corrie (1979-2003) grew up in Olympia and was an Evergreen student. In Let Me Stand Alone, a collection of Rachel’s journals, we hear a young woman’s voice – intense and poetic– grappling with universal ideas as it chronicles a personal journey cut short. In 2003, Rachel was killed while protecting a civilian family’s home in Rafah, Palestine. The tragedy ended a life full of potential, yet never silenced a voice that longs to be heard.
