District 75: Everyday Heroes in Schools of Love and Learning

District 75: Bayside, Queens

Labor Arts’ most recent online exhibit is a pair of photo galleries documenting District 75 schools.

This exhibit features two series of revealing photographs taken by long time documentary photographer Gary Schoichet. The photographs depict New York City teachers who may have the most difficult jobs in the city: in Bayside, Queens they teach children and teens recovering from traumatic brain injuries; in East Harlem they teach children who are “medically fragile” — one label among many which is inadequate to describe their truly overpowering disabilities.

Many of these photographs originally appeared in two articles written by New York Teacher reporter Ellie Spielberg.
