81/61
Podkast av 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 ways to regain their region’s growth and struggling with ways 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. 81/61 is an original series from the Greater Cleveland Partnership. New episodes are released every two weeks between June 7th and August 16th, 2021. 81/61 is generously supported by the George Gund Foundation.
