ALICE: Arts and Literacy in Children's Education In 2004, Helen Stoltzfus founded ALICE: Arts and Literacy in Children's Education, a grassroots organization that seeks to narrow the disparity in arts education between children in well-endowed schools and those in lower socioeconomic communities. Today ALICE has brought professional musicians, dancers, choreographers, theatre directors, actors, spoken word poets, writers, storytellers, painters, print makers, photographers and designers to over 12,000 children throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Central to ALICE's mission is the Ancestor Project, in which children create original theatre out of oral history interviews they conduct with elders in their families. In order for the stories to reach beyond their particular communities, they needed to be placed in a broader context. Burning Libraries is that context.
