  • Greenwood: an American Dream Destroyed
    MEDIA CONTACTS [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 17, 2021 KARAMU HOUSE PRESENTS WORLD PREMIERE OF “GREENWOOD: AN AMERICAN DREAM DESTROYED” Written by award-winning playwright, Celeste Bedford Walker, the virtual theatre production tells one family’s story of the Black Wall Street Massacre—available on-demand through mid-July (Cleveland, Ohio)—Beginning Thursday, June 17, 2021 at 7PM ET/4PM PT, audiences across the country can stream the world premiere of “Greenwood: An American Dream Destroyed,” produced and performed by Karamu House, America’s oldest Black producing theatre. Written by the award- winning playwright, Celeste Bedford Walker, “Greenwood: An American Dream Destroyed” tells the gut-wrenching, intimate story of one family during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. The production is presented through the generous support of Bank of America. At the 100th year commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, audiences will meet the Boley Family, one of Tulsa Oklahoma’s Greenwood District’s most prosperous Black families, who witnessed the devastation.

In the wake of the violence, 35 city blocks lay in charred ruins, more than 800 were treated for injuries, and as many as 300 people died—and 600 Black, thriving businesses destroyed. “Greenwood: An American Dream Destroyed” can be accessed for free, on-demand access on the Karamu House website (karamuhouse.org) through July 11, 2021.

  • Fairfax Neighborhood Plan Summary
    FAIRFAX NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUMMARY Description. After its annexation to Cleveland in 1872, the neighborhood underwent a period of rapid residential development which continued until about 1920. The neighborhood is predominantly residential south of Cedar Road and is a mix of one- and two-family houses and small apartment buildings. Industries are located along the rail lines that make up the southeast and southwest boundaries of the neighborhood. North of Cedar Road much of the neighborhood is occupied by the Cleveland Clinic and other institutional and commercial uses. Assets. Among the neighborhood’s most significant assets are: • the Karamu House which, founded in 1917 is the oldest African-American theater in the country and which also operates an early childhood development center • the Cleveland Clinic which, with a 30,000 person payroll, is the State’s fourth largest employer • the Cleveland Play House founded in 1916, claims the honor of being the oldest continuously operating regional theater in the U.S. • access via the Regional Transit Authority’s Red Line • improvements associated with the Euclid Corridor project • being within the boundaries of the City’s Empowerment Zone • County investments in the Quincy Place and Youth Intervention Center projects Challenges. Among the challenges faced by the Fairfax neighborhood today are: • deteriorated housing conditions • vacant lots scattered throughout the neighborhood • creating a fluid transition between the Cleveland Clinic Campus and the neighborhood and capitalizing on its proximity to the Clinic • attracting retail that will serve the needs of residents • providing better access to industrial areas and redeveloping brownfield sites • improving the aesthetics along major routes such as Carnegie, Cedar & East 105th Vision.
