Penned in 1657, the Flushing Remonstrance was a bold petition protesting religious intolerance. Exhibit includes historical images, documents, narrative panels and artwork inspired by the theme of freedom produced by JHS 189 art students under the direction of arts specialist Meri Ezratty. The Remonstrance exhibition is made possible by Queens Borough President, Hon. Helen M. Marshall, Arthur Flug, The Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives, and Queensborough Community College.
