Shownotes

As we continue to explore the significance of flags in the Batavia community, we talk about the origins and impact of the Batavia Community flag, and the Unity Pride flag, relatively new symbols in the town.

Featured on this episode:

  • Flag expert Marty Callahan, chair of the Batavia flag design contest committee
  • High school student Rachel Agro, designer of the Batavia Community flag
  • High school graphic design teacher Kathleen Tieri Ton, who helped helped educate students and others in the community about how they can help bring a Batavia community flag to life. Kathleen is also the teacher sponsor for the BHS Pride Alliance.
