since its founding 73 years ago. In this class, we will explore
the historical, religious, military, and geo-political contexts

Robenalt, Partner, Thompson Hine LLP This course will explore author James Robenalt’s fourth nonfiction history book, Ballots and Bullets, Black Power Politics and Urban Guerrilla Warfare in 1968 Cleveland. The Glenville shootout on July 23, 1968, between Cleveland Police and Black Nationalists, is the focus of a series of lectures on the Civil Rights movement in Cleveland and the rise of Black Nationalism. Figures explored include Malcolm X, who delivered his most important speech in Cleveland in 1964, the famous Ballot or Bullets speech Dr. King and his many visits to Cleveland to support Carl Stokes in his race to become the first African American mayor of a major US city and Bobby Kennedy, who gave his fateful “Mindless Menace of Violence” speech to the City Club of Cleveland the day after Dr. King’s assassination. Special emphasis on policing in Cleveland’s minority neighborhoods, Stokes’ massive “Cleveland: NOW!” antipoverty program, and the impact of the demise of the national war on poverty and Cleveland’s struggles that followed the summer of 1968. MORE CINEMA OF OTHERNESS Terri Mester, Part-time Fellow in SAGES, Adjunct Professor in the School of Law, CWRU Othering is a process where we create an identity by looking at others who are different than us. This Other, though perhaps based on knowledge of a real person or people, is always shaped by the Self’s projected fears and desires. At a cultural level, these projections result in generally held stereotypes that the powerful use to maintain their superior position. Movies are one place where stereotypes of the Other are created and maintained. Movies shape how we see, think and feel toward the Other. In this course, we’ll approach the African American Other through a different lens, plus analyze four other ethnic groups.

Cleveland’s Cultural Gardens are a celebrated monument
to the ethnic diversity of the city. Yet their history is
embedded in other histories, some national, many
international, and of course, the history of the landscape
in which they exist. This presentation will examine that
broader context of migration, immigration, war, peace,
and ecology that has influenced their creation and
history. It will also introduce a forthcoming book by
John Grabowski and Lauren Pacini that examines this
“landscape of diversity.”
