This is the most complete history of and origins of MCM that I've seen. It's very well researched and presented. Thank you for sharing with everyone. That ad on the Eichler home slide said, $24k including land. Today they're selling in the millions in Palm Springs. Post and beam is rare in Tampa, but even here such homes are in the 600-700k range.

Beautiful. I grew up in and around Cory. It was the central hub for our Muny Football team. Glad to hear it’s getting a much needed face lift. The history of Cory will never be forgotten.

This wreckage spread throughout the entire east side of Cleveland city.

I remember... City curfews

The information concerning convert mentioned Harry Sykes who was part owner of McDonald’s when opened in 1970

"As with all urban uprisings in black and Latino communities" 🤔

My parent almost bought a house in the neighborhood in the 70s. It was beautiful. And the Star of David was carved into every doorway. And unlike many Cleveland homes, the laundry room was on the first floor, because the woman who lived there before refused to degrade herself to go into the basement to do laundry. When we explored the neighborhood and saw there were still burned out buildings they decided against it.

My Aunt Alvernice Blandon, who will be 100 in November, is one of the last living original members of Olivet (New Light Baptist) in the 1930s.

Thank you !

My dad grew up in the Ludlow community. I applaud the efforts.

My dad drove me through there a year later. Nothing was rebuilt or in the process. I asked my dad why would people burn down their own neighborhood? I wondered why they didn't just hop on the bus for a dime and burn the neighborhoods of the people they were angry about.

Look what we have

Nice presentation.

Riot or uprising ? Looked like another “mostly peaceful protest” brought to you by the left.

Hough never recovered

I was nine at the time, living in Euclid just seven miles from Hough. While the phrase, “the Hough Riots” is in my memory, I have no other recollection of the event. Indeed, before this I never quite knew where Hough was. I’m surprised to see that it borders University Circle, a place I visited many times. Even closer to my childhood home, East Cleveland is a frightening failure of a city.

While still in my mom's womb in July, 1966, I grew up hearing about the Hough uprising all through the 70's.......

To anyone reading: This video is left wing propaganda. First of all look at the title: an event which history remembers as “The Hough Riots” is being deliberately reframed as an “uprising”. Why? Obviously to reframe the senseless violence as part of a resistance movement against oppressive institutions. As others have stated (including the contemporary news accounts referenced in the video) the riots were not started by members of the community (who would burn down their own neighborhood) but by outside agitators, namely left wing agitators associated with the “Students for a democratic society” aka communists. I can corroborate this as my father, John Toth was a member of the national guard unit assigned to enforce curfew. His job was to enter neighborhood bars, unarmed, and ask the locals to go home. They did without protest. Later in the night he was assigned to protect firefighting equipment and was approached by a gang of youths who tried to intimidate him to leave his post, and when that didn’t work they sent over an underage girl to try and solicit him…. Secondly, ask yourself why the producer of this video “The Cleveland Restoration Society” is suddenly producing videos? Aren’t they an apolitical organization that helps homeowners pick out period correct paint colors? Well until recently they were, but after the latest period of social unrest (caused again by left wing radicals) they have had a dramatic shift in their mission and are now principally interested in the history of racial oppression. This is called institutional capture. It is the goal of Marxist “uprisings”. they create a problem, then they attack institutions until those institutions give them a seat at the table and ultimately hand over control. then they use the reputation of those institutions to redwash history and foment more civil unrest.

Smile 🙏🏾

I was there .. spoke with the guardsmen in the jeeps … we were concerned to even go downtown but we did … worked at the gas company .. An insane time !

White folks have always been jealous of us and still are ...

We aren't African Americans... You can't be born in 2 different continents at one time... That's a misnomer! You older folks know who we are. We are not black either. Those are derogatory words...

Don’t forget his shoplifting years.

The “revolutionaries” used a Cleveland Now grant to arm themselves for the Grenville ryots . The grant program was his. One termer, really no big deal.

...and the current status of Cleveland, Ohio?

Well that's when the city was in super white flight who wanted to be mayor and then after the horrendous mau mau uprising in Huff... Now he's got his name on everything Cleveland's version of Martin Luther King

Riot!!

Wonder why candice owens didnt show these videos on her channel

when his son said that - hmm did the pop say yea he a good ' one ' tho

I was in high school at the time this picture was taken. Blacks stood together as a race. Since then, we have allowed the racist government and big business to divide us. It will never be like the 60's again. I got my passport.

Horrible Time for Cleveland Ohio. Blacks are still Catching Hell Today in 2023.

The term African-American we do not use anymore that is the term Cohen still in the 80s. We are Negros we are not African and we haven’t been there in 500 years we have. We are unique people with a unique heritage. Yes we have some linens there many minutes, just as everyone else does, but we are made up of different identities different heritage we reject the term African-American refrigerant soap is Negros

Enjoyed the presentation. Thank You.

Good review on mid century progression. 👍

Black History is Everyday 365

The city needs to better with adding more historical monuments and markers in these areas with so much history to give residents some sort of pride and hope. They put efforts in adding them in downtown Cleveland but not in the many pockets of Cleveland. A-lot of life long Clevelander’s don’t know that this was the first planned community for middle class African Americans because back then if you could afford to purchase a home, African Americans got the “leftover” housing and neighborhoods (Glenville or Mt Pleasant area) from Jews and Whites that fled East.

You should talk to Sam Tidmore at our health club. He is a little younger than you but also has a lot of great stories of being black and going to college and having a white room mate who wouldn’t live with him. He actually got his own room his first year in college because the other guy left! It’s too bad that you didn’t do that with nursing school. They should have made that other woman not go if she wouldn’t share a room with you.

Clover: the saying is: “Money talks and bullshit walks!”

Just wondering if the people who currently live in these houses know the history of them....?

So much history I never knew. Now I see where my Father was coming from even more.❤✊🏿

Way before his time.

Our apologies to Stephanie Leclerc of Interior Architecture Co. who was omitted from the partner slide on the Blacksmith Shop. Great work on such an impactful project!

The narrator says the Van Sweringens imposed restrictions in 1920, but in fact it was 1925 when they added Section 5 to new and existing deeds, mandating that homeowners had to get approval of the buyer from the Van Sweringen Company or 21 neighbors before selling their home. The Vans never explicitly named Jewish or Black people or Catholics in these restrictions, choosing a more vague and chilling term 'undesirables,' but the effect was the same.

Tkt

Too bad the ones who didn't want these communities apart of the city are the ones destroying it today and no one does anything about it 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thank you, I thoroughly enjoyed the awards program. The work done on all of the awarded structures is impressive! Rosemary Lann
