It's the 40th anniversary of the Glenville riots

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

On the 40th anniversary of the Glenville riots a black man running for president speaks of hope. But despair grips much of Cleveland's inner city where random shootings ended three lives in the last month. Those deaths as well as recent controversy over police shootings and this month's killing of a police officer evoke a part of our region's most troubling history.

George Forbes


George Forbes says Cleveland's business community supported Carl Stokes and hoped the nation's first black mayor would quell racial unrest in Cleveland but deserted Stokes when he was blamed for funds from a city program being diverted for gun purchases by black nationalists.


George Forbes, who represented Glenville on Cleveland City Council for almost three decades, was in his early 30s when the riots occurred. He says it taught him a valuable lesson about urban politics.




Roldo Bartimole


Roldo Bartimole, a freelance journalist, investigated the cause of the riots and found discrepancies in the official accounts. He believes media coverage was biased in favor of the police.

Nice job Vivian, very interesting subject about a dark side of Cleveland history, I learned alot about the riots especially since I grew up in Cleveland during that time, and you posted some very interesting photos, audio, and video about the riots- I hope this type of history never repeats itself.
