81/61: Progress and Barriers to Racial Equity
An original podcast series from the Greater Cleveland Partnership.
It’s 1981. Reagan was just inaugurated. Cleveland is emerging from default. We're reeling from manufacturing losses. Racial division abounds.
The Greater Cleveland Roundtable, a coalition of CEOs and community leaders, is searching for methods to regain their region’s growth and struggling with how to include folks of color.
81/61 reckons with their effort by exploring the organization’s lost document archive and to tell a story about where we have been in the last 40 years and how we might achieve racial equity in the next 40.
