The Rise of Black Glenville

[@danieldavis7269]

OMG! I was watching this video and after a few mins I realized Mrs.Davis was my second grade teacher at Almira School back in around 1978

[@sheedastackhouse]

Just took a course at Tri C titled “Cleveland History” taught by a Caucasian from Pittsburgh. Let’s just say this 21 minute vignette gave me more understanding of the city’s history than the course did. Thanks for the upload we need more oral history preserved and handed down from our elders.

I grew up in Glenville and this history brought back fond memories. Anyone remember Miles Standish elementary school?

RIP Mrs. Davis. She passed away at age 100 last year.

[@beltuna9]

It's so good to see folks not giving up and staying put. Respect.

[@slimbull216]

Great video.... where I was born and raised. My grandparents settled in Glenville from the south. ❤️🖤

[@Tricybear21]

This is an amazing story. My family is from the Glenville area.

[@ehwestonful]

Lived on 110th & St Clair from the early 50's into the Mid 60's.

[@deloresvalexander2085]

I loved learning about a piece of my family history. Thank you for the knowledge! Blessings and prayers to everyone!

[@MsCassie272]

Very nice. A wonderful piece of history. Thank you.

I'm from Cleveland and I still live here. I have even taken the History of Cleveland course at Cleveland State but I aint never, EVA heard how racism was this bad in Cleveland. My grandparents came up here from Georgia. Now the Glenville area is riddled with crime and violence. It makes me so sad what happened to those babies on the school bus back in the day. Those were babies!

I remember the Glenville & Collinwood festival’s . I was born 5-17-1982 Both my Grandmothers grew up in Glenville and then migrated to The collinwood railroaders this was the era they grew up in pre the crack era

[@Jwall216]

I love this. I grew up on 93 and St Clair

[@mauricesledge1862]

we must rebuild the Black community on together we rise on change.

I attended Hazeldell elementary in the early sixties and was "bused' during those years (we called it," transportation").To call it a rude awakening would be an understatement. We had to face facts though. Just as in 2020, people, especially Black people, need to face facts.Ooops ! I guess you can't face them until you know what they are.It's late folks, But not 'Too" late. PEACE!

My Favorite teacher was Ms Beverly Stokes at Parkwood Elementary, a beautiful woman that dressed up everyday, always sharp! She challenged me and gave me my 1st D probably in science. My Drill Team Instructor was Ms Boone! My favorite principal was Mr Kelso at John Hay HS. I always thought John Hay HS was Glenville too!

[@krezzykrezz]

This is great! Thanks to all involved. (But note, the Glenville shootout was in 1968. Both 1966 and 1968 are given in different places of the video. The Hough riot was in 1966.)

[@donellaporter2822]

That's correct. I lived on E. 88th and St Clair in 1966 during the Hough Riots. The Glenville Riots were in 1968. By that time we moved to the Mt Pleasant area.

Love! Love! Love!! Thank You So Much For Giving Voice To A Beautiful Place. My parents both grew up in the Glenville Neighborhood. My Dad was one of the kids who attended school in Little Italy. The experience scarred him. He is incredibly distrustful of "white people". We've bumped heads on the issue. This film helped to bring some fullness of his experience. I understand better. His concept of whiteness was formed out of being hit with bottles and the school bus being shaken in kindergarten.

[@tonydialsr7190]

At 15:MIN 17SEC shows the news paper article about the Glenville riots . You had the information . I am in production how could you not get it right?

[@corinewallace9048]

My era

[@lawrencecoley1652]

This is such a heartwarming and beautiful video but at the same time I am also from that neighborhood and I am 50 years old today and it’s really sad to see how far we’ve allowed our self to fall. It is really shameful.
