Subject: [Michlib-l] Initiating School and Community Action Against Asian-American Discrimination, Bias, and Violence - a memo from State Superintendent Dr. Rice

Hello,

I wanted to pass along this critical memo from the MDE State Superintendent, Dr. Michael F. Rice, calling on schools and communities across Michigan to end discrimination and violent actions targeting Asian Americans. The memo lists a number of resources and links that libraries should be aware of in their work.

To read the full Memo from State Superintendent Dr. Rice and access these resources, go to: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/Resources_Anti_Asian_723070_7.pdf.

Thank you,
