Friday, December 10, 2021
11:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m.

Outside Cory United Methodist Church
You are invited to join the Cleveland Restoration Society and the Ohio History Connection for the unveiling of the first historical marker on Cleveland’s Rights Trail. This marker honors the significant role that Cory United Methodist Church played in the struggle for Civil Rights. Cory UMC was host to both grassroots organizations and nationally recognized leaders such as Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. We hope you will meet us at 11 a.m. outside Cory UMC, located at 1117 E. 105th St., for a short 30 minute ceremony to recognize the Cory UMC’s significant past and celebrate the marker being unveiled.
For any questions, please call Stephanie Phelps at 216-426-3106 or e-mail sphelps@clevelandrestoration.org.
