Many of these groups, led by women, were able to unite white and black neighborhoods in a common cause. Cunningham introduces readers to the various groups and the causes they took on, covering topics such as: Insurance and bank redlining Community development and urban renewal programs The movement’s decline during the Reagan administration

The Official Cleveland ABC Book
Author:
Publisher: Elephia Press
ISBN: 9781889748214
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The Official Cleveland ABC Book is a children's book with photos, teaching young children the alphabet. Each letter is correlated with one photo, and all images are shot in Cleveland, instilling local pride and further creating associations in children's minds between a familiar place, thing, or role model and the letters of the alphabet. The words that correspond to each letter are generic, non-Cleveland terms such that a child will learn regular words, and thus the book is useful for all children, including those outside of the city who may receive the book as a gift or as a Cleveland souvenir. For example, the Terminal Tower is one of the city's greatest symbols, the Cleveland equivalent of New York's Empire State Building. But in the book, "T" does not stand for "Terminal Tower" as that would limit the book's universality. Instead, "B" stands for "Buildings" and the corresponding image is that of the skyline which includes the Terminal Tower amongst other buildings. "T" stands for "Train" and the image depicted is that of a Cleveland heavy rail transit train.

Believing in Cleveland
Author: J. Mark Souther
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 1439913730
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Detractors have called it "The Mistake on the Lake." It was once America’s "Comeback City." According to author J. Mark Souther, Cleveland has long sought to defeat its perceived civic malaise. Believing in Cleveland chronicles how city leaders used imagery and rhetoric to combat and, at times, accommodate urban and economic decline. Souther explores Cleveland's downtown revitalization efforts, its neighborhood renewal and restoration projects, and its fight against deindustrialization. He shows how the city reshaped its image when it was bolstered by sports team victories. But Cleveland was not always on the upswing. Souther places the city's history in the postwar context when the city and metropolitan area were divided by uneven growth. In the 1970s, the city-suburb division was wider than ever. Believing in Cleveland recounts the long, difficult history of a city that entered the postwar period as America's sixth largest, then lost ground during a period of robust national growth. But rather than tell a tale of decline, Souther provides a fascinating story of resilience for what some folks called "The Best Location in the Nation."
