Keith Newvine, Literacy Department, in collaboration with Sarah Fleming, was awarded a grant from the Abolitionist Teaching Network, which awards grants to those who strive to disrupt inequalities and injustice within their schools, communities or both. The funds will be used to purchase class sets of young adult texts written by and about people of color that are loaned to school districts in Onondaga County and Cortland County to introduce and reinforce the Abolitionist Teaching Network’s commitment to culturally and historically responsive education. After students and teachers engage in this antiracist literacy work, students will become Antiracist Ambassadors who engage in courageous conversations with students and educators from other high schools in Onondaga and Cortland County about the ways in which white supremacy is demystified, dismantled, and decentered in these texts and amplify the culturally sustaining and joyful counternarratives written by these authors and realized by these texts.
