Come join us at our book reveal to celebrate and discuss The Making of Cleveland’s Black “Suburb in the City”: Lee-Seville & Lee-Harvard, which will be available Fall, 2019.
This book documents and celebrates a success story, a Cleveland case of Black community-building. The making of Lee-Seville and Lee-Harvard unfolded under remarkable circumstances and against considerable odds. Our story starts just west of the intersection of Lee and Seville Roads where a Black enclave took shape in the 1920s. By establishing a foothold in Cleveland’s far southeastern reaches, African Americans laid the successful groundwork for this vicinity to develop as a Black “suburb in the city”.
Learn more about the work of the Cleveland Restoration Society in the Lee-Harvard and Lee-Seville neighborhoods!
Event open to Cleveland Restoration Society Members.
