Representation matters. Did you know that only 1.5% of the places listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Ohio relate to Black heritage? And in Cleveland—where approximately half of residents identify as Black—only 4% of National Register listings represent Black heritage. Cleveland Restoration Society is working to increase the representation of African American cultural heritage sites in the National Register. We are honored to be one of 21 recipients of an Underrepresented Communities grant from the National Park Service, which will enable us to nominate six historic Black churches to the National Register of Historic Places: Advent Evangelical Lutheran, Emmanuel Baptist, Greater Abyssinia Baptist, Greater Friendship Baptist, Nazarene Baptist, and New Life at Calvary.

#Today #we #remember #George #Floyd 🖤. 1973-2020 🖤 🖤 🖤. #This #weekend #will #be #four #years #since #George #Floyd #was #killed by former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin. As we mark the #second #anniversary of the #Black #Equity #Organisation, we reflect on the poignant and powerful phrase : “#I #can’t #breathe.” These words, uttered by #George #Floyd #in #his #final #moments, ignited a global protest and movement which spurred us into action. #BEO was established in the aftermath of his #tragic #death, driven by a collective determination to #combat #systemic #racism, be an #advocate #for #the #rights #and #equity #of #Black #communities, and leverage the law to deliver policy changes that deliver a better lived experience for our people. Over the past two years, our journey has been filled with significant challenges and achievements as we continue to establish BEO for the long term. #As #Reverend #Al #Sharpton #said #at #an #event #in2023 – “We don’t need sprinters in the movement, we need marathon runners. #BEO #are #marathon #runners.” As we continue our journey, we remain humble yet hopeful, reflective yet resolute. Together, we will keep pushing forward, inspired by our ancestors and as I was reminded at the #Black #Britain #Mandate event in Scotland last week, by #Ace #Vision, we are all ancestors driven by the vision of a world where equity and justice prevail. #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter #EndRacism #SystemicRacism #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #SocialJusticeUK #UKActivism

Black history is Alberta history, and Canadian history. #DYK - The Last Best West | Historica Canada. “At the turn of the century, many Black families in Oklahoma wanted to escape the state’s racial violence and discrimination for a new start in Canada’s ‘Last Best West.’ The Canadian government, however, didn’t want them to settle in those vast, fertile western provinces. To stem the tide of Black immigration, the government began a secret campaign of disinformation. Uncovering this deception from 1911 can help us think more critically about the media we consume today.” #BHM #BHM2024
