Description
As the African American population took shape in Cleveland, a new Black self-consciousness emerged. It mirrored the developing ideologies of the day, from integration to nationalism. Unfortunately, despite its cultural heritage, the city of Cleveland became a causeway for artists between the East Coast and the Midwest. Despite this fact however, both individuals and organizations based in Cleveland have influenced those most identified with the Black Arts Movement.
