Résumé (en anglais)

This presentation details a local initiative which blends cultural heritage with conservation of a mid-century modern neighborhood for the goal of achieving a sustainable community. The initiative has won the support of Ohio Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. In Cleveland, Ohio (USA), the Cleveland Restoration Society is leading a multi-faceted project to ensure the continued vitality of a remarkable urban neighborhood called Lee-Harvard. During the 1940s – 60s, African-Americans circumvented systemic obstacles to achieve the dream of home-ownership and a better education and social environment for their children in Lee-Harvard. What started as classic historic preservation work – surveying Lee-Harvard for eligible landmarks – expanded to include oral histories with community elders. Survey work indicated that Lee-Harvard is a “suburb in the city.” Oral histories revealed remarkable stories about the Great Migration of AfricanAmericans to northern industrial cities for jobs. Through black agency, families escaped urban ghettos by “moving-up” to Lee-Harvard, a leafy “urban suburb” with middle-class amenities. This project includes: Public engagement – oral histories, public story-telling events, digitization of historic photographs for a public image collection, publication of the stories and images of Lee-Harvard.
