Learn more about the history of the Ludlow Community Association in our newest video |
|
The Ludlow Community Association set a national example as a neighborhood development model that was created to counteract prevailing prejudice against African American buyers in white neighborhoods. The unofficial neighborhood sits on the border of Cleveland and Shaker Heights, Ohio and is named after a former elementary school in the area. Established in 1957 after the bombing of a home that belonged to John and Dorothy Pegg, an affluent African American family, the organization remarkably reversed white flight and maintained a well-balanced, integrated neighborhood for at least 30 years and rebuked widely-held beliefs about integrated living. |

The Untold Story of Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost: On the Frontline of School Desegregation in New Orleans
Virtual Event
National Trust for Historic Preservation
On November 14, 1960, four six-year-old Black girls desegregated the all-white elementary schools in New Orleans—Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost at McDonogh 19 in the Lower Ninth Ward and Ruby Bridges at William Frantz in the Upper Ninth Ward. Tonight, three of the “New Orleans Four,” including Leona Tate, Gail Etienne, and Tessie Prevost, join us to share how the former McDonogh 19 School, which closed in 2004 and was heavily damaged during Hurricane Katrina, is coming back to life as the TEP (Tate, Etienne, and Prevost) Center.
Wednesday, May 25th • 1:00 PM—2:00 PM
Design Review: We Got Issues
Virtual Event
Heritage Ohio
As design review boards go, it seems like landmines are lurking everywhere: bad applicants, misinformed board members, apathetic city governments, bullying property owners, and murky ordinances can cause the board’s best efforts to go awry. Hear from Ohio design review veterans on how they’ve reacted to difficult situations, and have built design review programs to function fairly and efficiently. Click here to register.
