  • Electing Black Mayors
    Electing Black Mayors Political Action in the Black Community William E. Nelson, Jr. and Philip J. Meranto $20.00 ELECTING BLACK MAYORS Political Action in the Black Community By William E. Nelson, Jr., and Philip J. Meranto As the black protest movement swept north in the middle years of the 1960s, a major shift was to take place in its basic theme and fundamental direction that transferred emphasis from the familiar exhortation to demand "freedom now" to an equally urgent summons to marshal the formidable, if un­ tapped, resources of "black power" in the struggle for liberation. This alteration in both informing idea and effective method signified conclusively that blacks, grown angry and frustrated over the slow rate of their social and economic prog­ ress as an oppressed minority, were finally prepared to realize their potential force in order to exercise a decisive measure of po­ litical control over their own lives. As a call to action, black power reflected a growing sense of community among blacks, a fresh awareness of shared experience and a common heritage. More importantly, however, it was both a challenge posed by blacks to themselves to gain some increased measure of control over the institutions of that community, and an appeal for black solidarity and concerted political action as the essential means to that end. An increased concentration of blacks in the major cities of the northern and western United States had come about as the direct result of one of the most significant demographic changes to occur in the nation in the twentieth century.

  • Stokes V. Taft 1967 Election Final
    The Election That Changed Cleveland Forever By Michael D. Roberts That autumn in Cleveland was crisp and colorful with low clouds, high expectations and an anxious electorate. With the season, came the wonder whether the city could look beyond race and elect a black man as its mayor. It had never been done in a major American city. The world wondered whether it could be done. By 1967, race had been the dominant issue in Cleveland since the beginning of the decade, first with demonstrations against what minorities considered a segregated school system, and then with a riot that left four dead and required the Ohio National Guard to quell four days of looting and violence. In the wake of the Hough riot in the summer of 1966, an ominous apprehension settled over the city. Those venturing to the eastern parts of the town did so warily for sporadic gunfire was a common occurrence. A policeman had been ambushed in his zone car and killed. A black student was murdered near Murray Hill. Downtown, the business community grew apprehensive. For years, the city had ignored the quality of life among the growing black population, which had migrated here from the south to work at jobs created by three wars. The housing was dilapidated, the schools inadequate, and the future bleak. The anger created by these conditions was manifested in the demonstrations and finally in the riot. In the midst of the turmoil, the emerging black political figure was Carl B. Stokes, a lawyer who had grown up in poverty, and had worked as a liquor agent and then was elected to the Ohio state legislature.

  • The Cleveland Foundation and Its Evolving Urban Strategy
    Rebuilding Cleveland is a critical study of the role that The Cleveland Foundation, the country's oldest community trust, has played in shaping public affairs in Cleveland, Ohio, over the past quarter-century. Drawing on an examination of the Foun­ dation's private papers and more than a hun­ dred interviews with Foundation personnel and grantees, Diana Tittle demonstrates that The Cleveland Foundation, with assets of more than $600 million, has provided con­ tinuing, catalytic leadership in its attempts to solve a wide range of Cleveland's urban problems. The Foundation's influence is more than a matter of money, Tittle shows. The combined efforts of professional philanthro­ pists and a board of trustees traditionally dominated by Cleveland's business elite, but also including members appointed by var­ ious elected officials, have produced innova­ tive civic leadership that neither group was able to achieve on its own. Through an examination of the Founda­ tion's ongoing and sometimes painful orga­ nizational development, Tittle explains how the Foundation came to be an important ca­ talyst for progressive change in Cleveland. Rebuilding Cleveland takes the reader back to 1914, when Cleveland banker Frederick C. Goff invented the concept of a community foundation and pioneered a national move­ ment of social scientists, business leaders, and government officials that made philan­ thropy a more effective force for private in­ volvement in public affairs. Tittle follows the Foundation through the 1960s, when it be­ gan a major new initiative to establish itself REBUILDING CLEVELAND HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SERIES Manse/ G.

  • Citizen League by Marian Morton
    “The Scourge of Corrupt and Inefficient Politicians”: The Citizens League of Greater Cleveland By Marian Morton Cleveland’s self-styled enemy of “corrupt and inefficient politicians”1 was born in 1896, inspired by what its founders considered the disastrous state of local politics. For more than a century, fueled by righteous anger and empirical data, the league tackled big and small challenges, winning some battles and losing others. The Cleveland organization, originally called the Municipal Association, took its cue, as well as reforms like municipal home rule and a professional city manager, from the National Municipal League. This organization, later the National Civic League, was established in 1894. Its concern: American cities, their governments designed for smaller, more homogeneous populations, were overwhelmed by rapid, unplanned growth and the difficulties of absorbing an enormous influx of European immigrants. The serious depression that began in 1893 exacerbated these problems, creating widespread unemployment and political unrest. The results: political bosses and machines, patronage, mismanagement, and disorder. The league’s founders included some of the Progressive era’s leading lights, including Teddy Roosevelt, later President of the United States, and Louis D. Brandeis, later U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Like other Progressive reformers, these men believed that professional direction and scientific principles could solve urban political problems. The association held its first national meeting in Cleveland in 1895. Clevelanders quickly followed suit. Appalled and indignant at the open corruption and mismanagement of the mayoral administration of Republican Robert McKisson, a group of city leaders gathered in the office of Harry A. Garfield, son of the assassinated President James A.

  • Book Review: Ray Bliss in Retrospect
    RAY BLISS IN RETROSPECT BOOK REVIEW: WILLIAM L. HERSHEY & JOHN C. GREEN, MR. CHAIRMAN: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RAY C. BLISS by Jonathan L. Entin* Ray Bliss was one of the most effective and respected political operatives in American history. His career spanned five decades, and his influence was in many ways more profound than that of other prominent figures like Mark Hanna and James Farley, who were primarily associated with specific presidents.1 Bliss made his mark as a party builder and modernizer. He engineered the Republican revival after Senator Barry Goldwater’s landslide loss to President Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Before assuming leadership of the Republican National Committee in 1965, he had chaired the Ohio GOP for sixteen years. Working primarily behind the scenes, he was relatively unknown to the general public. I first heard of Bliss in 1962, when my suburban Boston high school debate partner—an ardent Republican and even more ardent Goldwater supporter—accurately predicted that the GOP would win big victories in Ohio that year because of Bliss.2 But I never knew many details about Ray * David L.
