Anti-racistResourcesFlushing High School Library, E. Frank Bayer, Librarian
I would like to give credit to Ms. Julie Esanu, of the St. Stephens School and the St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia for sharing her newsletter with the Smore Community and curating the collection of articles and websites listed in this newsletter.

Flushing High School is committed to respecting the diversity of all learners. Our collection represents the diversity of New York City. In this newsletter, I highlighted some of the diverse resources that you may find helpful in these turbulent times. In today's troubled times, we should celebrate joy as a form of resistance. We attempt to do this through our collection.
