  • East Cleveland: A City in Transition

    Tue, Dec 21, 2010
    The City of East Cleveland initially received 2.2 million dollars of federal funds as part of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. With this and other funds, dilapidated homes have been demolished and other homes rehabilitated. What does this mean for the residents of a city that is in the first stages of economic redevelopment? This program brings together two people from the East Cleveland Mayor’s Office: Anthony Houston, Program Manager for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and Mansell Baker, Assistant to the Mayor’s Chief of Staff. An additional voice in the conversation is Fannie Hall, a resident of East Cleveland who has lived in the same East Cleveland home for 49 years. With these different perspectives, listen to how economic redevelopment measures are shaping a city in transition.

    This program discusses the SnickerFritz Cultural Arts Workshop for the Art, Inc which is a non-profit organization founded by master artist and sculptor Edward E. Parker to provide various programs that engage people in the arts for social development. Over the last 27 years Parker has developed the EEP Creative Arts Complex, which houses several businesses including his SnickerFritz Arts Gallery. His training and formal studies extend as far as Africa and Ecuador, and his art has been featured and commissioned across the country by many outstanding universities and organizations. Additionally this program discusses the SnickerFritz Community Time Capsule Project which is an important Art and Community History initiative that documents the fast changing landscape of various local landmarks, businesses, institutions and residential neighborhoods in the City of East Cleveland. Each project partner contributes a piece of memorabilia (i.e. photographs, newspapers, magazine articles, oral histories, student research reports on the history of the city etc.) The preservation of these capsule submissions further documents the History of East Cleveland and provides a valuable community history lesson for current and future generations. The time capsule is scheduled to be reopened in 2020. Program participants are Edward Parker, Owner of the EEP Creative Arts Complex, home of Snickerfritz Art Gallery and Art Studio and The Snickerfritz Cultural Workshop for the Arts, Inc.

  • Katyn: Justice Delayed or Justice Denied? (Panel 1, Part 1)

    Fri, Feb 4, 2011
    The topic of panel one is what constitutes the Katyn crime? The Katyn massacre of 1940 involved murders at the Katyn forest and in other locations throughout the Soviet Union of over 22,000 Polish officers, prisoners of war, and members of the Polish leading elite, by a single shot to the back of each of their heads. For 50 years, this massacre was subject to a massive cover up. Initially the Soviet Union blamed the Nazis for the murders, saying that the killings took place in 1941 when the territory was in German hands. It was not until 1990 that the Russian government admitted that the executions actually took place in 1940 and were carried out by the Soviet secret police. In 1990, Russian prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into the massacre, but the case was terminated in 2004, its findings were classified as top secret, and it appeared that the tragedy would once again be subject to "historical amnesia." The Katyn Symposium brings together leading international experts in jurisprudence, international criminal law, and the Katyn crime, as well as representatives from Poland and Russia, to discuss the events in a neutral setting. A diverse group of highly qualified scholars presents Polish, Russian and third party expert views on the Katyñ murders in four panel sessions, followed by a round-table discussion.
