Abstract:
Cleveland: NOW! was a multiracial joint public and private program for extensive urban renewal and revitalization in Cleveland, Ohio, created by Mayor Carl B. Stokes following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4, 1968. The program planned to raise $1.5 billion over ten years. The first 2-year phase called for spending $177 million for projects in eight areas: neighborhood housing rehabilitation; accelerated urban renewal; the creation of 16,000 jobs; expansion of small business opportunities; city planning; health, welfare, and day care centers; summer recreation programs for youth; and the construction of Camp Cleveland. The program was discredited due to the Glenville Shootout of July 23, 1968, a gun battle between police and members of the Black Nationalists Organization of New Libya who obtained weapons with funds received indirectly from Cleveland: NOW! Stokes and the NOW! trustees were sued in 1970 by 8 policemen wounded in the shootout, but the suit was dismissed in 1977. Although Cleveland: NOW! met many of its initial goals, the organization ceased activities for the most part after 1970, and was formally dissolved in 1980. The collection consists of articles of incorporation, minutes, board of trustees records, correspondence, financial records, records of the major programs, publicity information, newspaper clippings, and proceedings of lawsuits. The collection pertains to a dramatic, multiracial attempt on a large scale to address and ameliorate a wide range of social ills by initial infusions of large amounts of money. The financial records and contributors correspondence contain detailed information for a possible demographic examination of contributors to the program.

History of Cleveland: NOW!

Cleveland: NOW! (f. 1968) was a multiracial joint public and private program for extensive urban renewal and revitalization in Cleveland, Ohio, created by Mayor Carl B. Stokes following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4, 1968. On May 1, 1968, Stokes announced the program which planned to raise $1.5 billion over ten years. It was the first attempt by a major city to meet many of the challenges posed by the report of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders (Kerner Commission) issued in March 1968. The first 2-year phase of Cleveland: NOW! called for spending $177 million for projects in eight areas: neighborhood housing rehabilitation; accelerated urban renewal; the creation of 16,000 jobs; expansion of small business opportunities; city planning; health, welfare, and day care centers; summer recreation programs for youth; and the construction of Camp Cleveland. This phase involved raising $11.75 million in private funds from business donations and countrywide public solicitations, with the remainder supplied by matching federal funds and a 0.5% increase in the city income tax. George Steinbrenner III, head of the Group '66 organization of business leaders, committed the organization to heading a public collection for $1.25 million. Cleveland: NOW! was incorporated as an Ohio charitable corporation on June 18, 1968 under the guidance of a board of six trustees which turned funds over to the Cleveland Development Foundation to meet the provisions of the Cleveland: NOW! program. The Greater Cleveland Growth Association also participated as a collection and disbursements source for funds under the direction of the mayor's office. Cleveland: NOW! was off to a successful start when its credibility suffered a major blow due to events on July 23, 1968. The events, referred to as the Glenville Shootout, included a gun battle between police and members of the Black Nationalists Organization of New Libya. Fred "Ahmed" Evans had provided weapons to the group with funds he received indirectly from Cleveland: NOW! for starting an African cultural shop in the Hough neighborhood. The money was channeled from the Cleveland Development Foundation through the Mayor's Council on Youth Opportunity and then to the Hough Area Development Corporation. After this incident, it was much more difficult for Cleveland: NOW! to raise funds. Its last major commitment was to fund four new community centers in 1970. Most of the group's activities ceased after 1970, though it was not formally dissolved until 1980. A suit filed against Stokes and the Cleveland: NOW! trustees by eight policemen and one tow-truck driver wounded in the Glenville Shootout was dismissed in 1977.

Scope and Content

The Cleveland NOW! Records, 1967-1977 consist of articles of incorporation, minutes, board of trustees records, correspondence, financial records, records of the organization's major programs, publicity information, newspaper clippings, and proceedings of lawsuits.

This collection is useful for understanding the activities, operations, successes, and failures of Cleveland: NOW!, a dramatic, multiracial attempt on a large scale to address and ameliorate a wide range of social ills by initial infusions of large amounts of money. Cleveland: NOW! is an example of a 1960s program that was unable to carry out its mission due to negative public image problems, in this case, those resulting primarily from the Glenville Shootout. The collection's financial records reveal the indirect route through which Ahmed Evans received money to purchase guns. In addition, the letters from contributors lay the groundwork for a possible demographic examination of those who contributed to the program.
