A 16-year-old Chinese American student at the High School of Art and Design, Steven Chang, submitted the design that was selected for this year’s Jewish Heritage Week poster. He portrayed a Star of David through which black and white hands are clasped, surrounded by an olive branch. The other entries submitted by students of various ethnic backgrounds–Dominican, Haitian, Puerto Rican, and Black — were of exceptional quality, according to Attorney General Robert Abrams, chairman of the Jewish Heritage Week Advisory Council, “making the choice from among the excellent entries most difficult.” All of the final entries will be put on display at City Hall and Hall of the Board of Education during Jewish Heritage Week. April 30 May 4 and will later tour the city.
