Reframe History
Добавлен 8 окт 2020
Reframe History is a virtual African American Museum that is dedicated to keeping stories alive through archiving the past, recording the present, and advocating for the future.
The Rise of Black Glenville
Glenville is a predominantly African American Community in Cleveland, Ohio. Beauty, protest, and activism characterize the neighborhood, especially 1950-1960.
Many of the people living in Glenville have lived through decades of its transitions starting with the days of The Gold Coast and continuing through the many changes in our country. We have gathered stories from five individuals who lived in Glenville during the 50’s and 60’s to help bring awareness to the vast history of Glenville. This exhibit is a curation of their stories.
The short documentary is apart of a digital exhibition, blackglenville.org

Black ain’t beautiful on a yellow bus…Michael Evans “Good Times”
Born and raised in Glenville
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
My Mom lived on Englewood and my Aunt on Massey. Loved the Glenville area. I lived with my Dad on 71st and Hough. I was home on Military leave with orders to VietNam. It was my Dad's Birthday when Fred Evans did his thing. I was stopped at a street barricade near Arlington and Superior by two Cleveland cops, they beat me for no reason, only my baby daughter in her car seat crying probably saved my life. I told them I was military, they did not care. No memory of VietNam can match the memory of that night in Cleveland. A shotgun butt to the chest, and the sound of a round being jacked in the chamber I will never forget or forgive. " Let the nigger go, he's got a kid in the car"... this event was retold during an interview I did for the Smithsonian about Black VietNam veterans and it had to be paused and edited. PTSD is an understatement.
Give it back or go to jail for being involved in the Freemason Illuminati Epstein network
I grew up in Glenville and this history brought back fond memories. Anyone remember Miles Standish elementary school?
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.
Lived on 110th & St Clair from the early 50's into the Mid 60's.
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.
My father, uncle, and godfather were Black Nationalist
Beautiful people and very educational ……thank you
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
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?
The Glenville riot did not occur in July 1966 . It occurred in July 1968 the year and month I was on orders to report to Vietnam. It was the Hough riots that took place in 1966 . Who was the editor of this video? Get your facts right. As far as Iam concerned you ruined a good video. Facts are very important in our history. The powers that be, are already trying to do away with our history and here you are ,you can not tell the story factually. Please!
Wonderful story. Wonderful people. Bless you all!
This is an amazing story. My family is from the Glenville area.
I love this. I grew up on 93 and St Clair
Cynthia is fine 😘
Glenville Resident 44 years
I literally grew up in that exact building on earl ave lol
Wow im from East Cleveland i never knew this. Cleveland was always dilapidated when i grew up. Now i know why
How old are you
we must rebuild the Black community on together we rise on change.
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!
RIP Mrs. Davis. She passed away at age 100 last year.
thank you I was gonna ask how old she would be today
🙏🏾 Blessings ❤
It was a different time.
@ROCKET MAN they dignity and pride with zero percent victim hood mentality
My era
Those were the good ole days back in the 60s and 70s... Integration was a big mistake. I went to a predominantly black school in a predominantly white neighborhood but I never encountered any hostility from the white people.. I was bused in the mid 1980s.
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!
Wonderful work. Sad that about 95% of this documentary had to deal with racism. Will people of color ever have peace in this country? Tarblooder for life.
Great video.... where I was born and raised. My grandparents settled in Glenville from the south. ❤️🖤
It's so good to see folks not giving up and staying put. Respect.
I grew up here 1979-1983, 1985-1987.
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.)
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.
I loved learning about a piece of my family history. Thank you for the knowledge! Blessings and prayers to everyone!
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.
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!
